Located near the town of Langenlois, Weingut Rabl experiences a dynamic continental climate, where the hot Pannonian winds from the east is tempered by the cooling breezes from the Waldviertel to the northwest. This unique combination results in warm days and cool nights, retaining delicate aromatics and natural vibrant acidity in the grapes. The main grape varieties grown are Grüner Veltliner and Riesling for white wines, as well as Pinot Noir for red wines. The family’s 80 hectares of vineyards are grown on ancient and diverse soils with a large proportion of loess and loam, as well as primary rock.

Rudi only uses excellent quality grapes in the winery to allow minimum intervention winemaking, as he believes that ‘only perfect grapes can make top wine’. He is not afraid of producing powerful wines, crafting a range with depth of aroma, extract and complexity.
