Weingut Renner was established in 1961. Third generation Susanne and Stef Renner began working in the family business at the end of 2014. It was important for them that they set their own agenda and follow their own path, but remain respectful of their heritage. Production under the Rennersistas label began with the 2015 vintage, and just 5000 bottles were produced.
2018 was the warmest harvest on record in Burgenland since they have been collecting weather data (approx. 250 years). With such weather extremities occurring more regularly, it solidified the decision they made in 2016 of planting a new 4 hectare vineyard at higher altitude, with mostly white varietals.
Younger brother Georg joined the family business in 2020, he and Stef leading the way forward as Susanne concentrates on being a mum to two young energetic children. Wines with verve and a little bit sassy, just like Stef and Sus.
