HOMOK – what it means - Hungarian word and translates into SAND. We only use grapes that grow on the sandy soils of vineyard site SEEFELD. LABEL: imagine, standing at the vineyard site, taking a look at the lake. Seefeld – sandy soil – Seefeld is situated in the west of Neusiedl am See, at the last bits of solid land before the marshes of the lake start. The whole plot is flat, dry and very windy. Since Seefeld is hot and straight in the haze of lake Neusiedl, the grapes grow very intense aromas.
In 2011, Alex and Maria Koppitsch took control of the families 6 hectares of vines in Burgenland, a short 40-minute drive from the Austrian capital, Vienna. The vineyards are all located around the village of Neusiedl am See and its lake. The estate was converted to Biodynamic farming prior (2007) whilst Alex was working alongside Gerhard Pittnauer in the neighbouring village of Gols. The soils range from sand through to loam, limestone and schist, and on the Wagram-ridge (in the northeast) alluvial—with large gravel and river stones, from the ancient Danube River. Until 1921 Burgenland was a German speaking part of the Hungarian monarchy. As homage to this history of Hungarian culture, several of the wines have Hungarian names including Homok which means sand.

Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
