Petra Unger's wines are a testimony to her passionate dedication to her work. The eleven hectares of vineyards lie on both sides of the Danube at the gateway to the Wachau. On the steep primary rock terraces of the Gaisberg and Hinters Kirchl vineyards, natural stone walls typical of the region store the heat of the day to create elegant, mineral Rieslings. From here, the view extends over the Danube to the sun-drenched vineyards of Gottschelle and Oberfeld, which stretch out towards the foothills of the Göttweig Abbey.
Petra Unger wants to express the entire character of the region in her wines. This is achieved by the regulating power of the River Danube, cool downdraft winds, and warming Pannonian influences, which provide her with a very special climatic framework - ideal conditions for her expressive, fresh white wines, but also for elegant red wines.
As a member of the "Traditionsweingüter Österreich", Petra Unger is proud that her wines, which have won many awards, are allowed to bear the predicate "1 ÖTW" as an indication of "Erste Lagen". She also is a member of the association "11 Frauen und ihre Weine" (11 women and their wines). In 2010, she started a cooperation with her fellow winemaker Josef Edlinger in order to use operational synergies. However, everyone remains responsible for making the wine themselves and thus for their own unmistakable signature. Petra Unger exports her wines to many countries around the world.
