I haven‘t ever seen the vegetation in such a state since i live. All grass turned yellow. Only the grapevines , trees and bushes show some signs of survival after these weeks of battering heat and no downfall.

While we're slow and steady shaping the next vintage, we prepare for next weeks bottling of our first non vintage solera inspired white cuvée - an homage to our oldest vines. It's first release will consists of three vintages, the next of four vintages, and so on.

Where it says Hammer, there’s Hammer inside. No Slogans, no glitter, no shortcuts, no pretending. Just us and our actions in the vineyard. Hands on our vines, taking decisions that won’t show until many years in the future. We make Hammer Wein in Rust, Burgenland #fromrustland #organic #austrianwine

Me documenting drystone wall renovations last week in the Ruster Apelation Plachen. For hundreds of years, these walls have been part of Rust's vineyards.

It's been quite some time since the lake was frozen for such a long period. Even the parts that usually stay open are covered by a thick layer. Tomorrow it will be raining and next week is getting considerably warmer. So i took this last chance and skated out of the bay into the wide open scenery.

From Rustland with love. The small town at lake Neusiedl in Burgenland is a true gem. It’s houses and the surrounding vineyards and it’s people makes it truly a special place. #places #austria #visitaustria #burgenland #traveltip

Ran across this little fellow in one of our vineyards earlier today. Revisited the site with a better camera and found the young owl again. #owl #birdlife #photography

Today we finished bringing out the biological deterrants against the vine moth. All growers in Rust are doing this since more than 20 years so we aren‘t reliant on any insecticides for our grape production! #organic #viticulture #winemaking

Spot the difference - or the thing that makes us different.We produce most of our marketing material in house. These are now our hip stickers and glass coasters designed after the idea of the "spot it!" game. Small edition. #dontpanicitsorganic

Sticker reading: Don't panic! It's organic

Ironically as we closed down most of instagram content we share - we posted a video that was relatively unspectacular from pruning (also on here in my profile). This video got into a heavy rotation on instagram (20k+ views) and we finally managed to break 1k Followers - woohoo. But ... 1/4

Currently pruning our Sauvignon Blanc vines in the Ludmaisch vineyard. We mostly go for a relatively low yield and early harvest with this site that hosts a soil composition of loess on a base of volcanic rocks. Quite interesting to work with such a place. #sauvignon #viticulture #wine

Sunny Day pruning some old vines. This time our Grauburgunder / Pinot Grrrrrrris. #pinotlover #burgunderland #austrianwine #winegrower Heavily edited to make my face look less pale (i slept very little tonight)

Our Plachen Parcel planted 1970 is now registered in the "Old Vine Registry". The grapes we pick from here went into our "Auf der Mauer" Pinot Blanc and "Alte Reben" wines. #wine #oldvine www.oldvineregistry.org/vineyard?id=...

Finalising our migration to bluesky, posting a last picture on our meta accounts announcing where to find us on bluesky. TODO: Change the Homepage and Email Signature links. And heres a nice picture from Rust where we grow our wines! #metabye #hellobluesky #rustamsee #wine #dontpanicwerestillorganic

#Vogelsang, meaning "Birdsong," is a common vineyard name in #Austria, often linked to top-quality #wines. Could the rich #biodiversity in these sites be the secret? Our answer is a clear: yes! #viticulture #vigneron #picture #birdlife

Some Vogelsang Pruning Impressions. This around 0,4 hectar plot of ours is the source of one of our oldest single vineyard #welschriesling wines - notably also the back side of the vineyard with #blaufränkisch #photography #wine #landscapes just taken with iphone while working tho.

My approach for yesterdays tasting for the mw diploma students. Everything #Welschriesling and a fcking #Merlot - about the versatility and underratedness of a ubiquitous but disregarded Variety in #austria. (Typo with the RS on the Merlot - it’s just 1g Sugar not 300ish)

We’re having the honor to host a group of master of wine diploma students tomorrow. Quite exciting and looking forward to the exchange! #wine #wset #masterofwine

We are currently hands on pruning our vineyards - a work that offers a lot of time to reflect on the philosophy of past and present when it comes to producing wine grapes. Since around ten years ago we stopped using wood saws and electrical pruning shears to trim wood thats older than a year. 1/5
