our work in the cellar
History and tradition are not independent values in themselves, they are shaped by people. We live in the now, interpret our heritage in the present and fill it with life. We want to make a difference, move things forward and leave our mark.
Esterházy's courage to innovate is also evident in the ageing of the wines in the cellar. The proportion of wooden barrels from its own forests has been continuously increased in recent years. These are dried for 5 years and processed by the renowned Stockinger cooperage. With the line of "project wines", Robert Krammer's team shows that alternative vessels and methods now have a firm place in the world of wine. Exciting wines are created in beautiful concrete eggs and amphorae, which have their very own character traits and yet remain typically "Leithaberg" - consumers confirm this with great demand!
„Degustation“ PAUL BUSK
Smelling, tasting, seeing, experiencing ... Tasting wine with all your senses. Visual stimuli are also challenged when looking through the glass. Looking at the surroundings through a wine glass blurs the translucent, the surrounding. Straight lines become round, creating a play of waves. Everything flows. The artist Paul Busk picks up on this optical gimmick and uses an oversized stencil in street art style to realise the "Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo" lettering consumed in this way at the Esterhazy winery. Busk also sees parallels in his concept to graffiti writing, which is also about the shape of individual letters and how they change. In graffiti, the letters are also drawn in any direction, stroke widths are changed and shapes are played with. The visual wave play of the degustation thus merges with the style writing from New York in the 90s.
