Mitchell & Son, Ireland's Home of
Geyerhof
Geyerhof wines tell the story of homeland, the soil, the weather and the labour of an entire year. Honest and unadulterated, they reflect their provenance and touch our hearts anew, year after year. Presented to you in Ireland by Mitchell and Son Fine Wines
The history of the old estate began almost 1000 years ago, in the little village of Oberfucha in Kremstal, Lower Austria. Here, winemaking has been part of the Geyerhof family’s life for more than 14 generations, an occupation deeply rooted in the landscape. Today, as well as in the past, arable land, hedgerows, cattle, draft horses, chickens and bees complete their take on holistic farming. Diversity instead of monoculture. The vine as a smaller part of a larger whole.
Organic viticulture
Only by giving nature a place in and around the vineyard is Geyerhof able to receive back the best nature has to offer. Since 1988, the 23 ha of vines and 27 ha of arable land have been farmed according to organic principles.
No Chemicals
Over 13% of the vineyard consists of hedges and nature conservation areas. Diverse cover crops with numerous wild herbs offer an additional habitat for a multitude of useful insects in Geyerhof vineyards.
Manual Labour
Geyerhof spend over 5000 hours pruning, trellising and working on the root stocks and canopies. Exclusive hand-harvesting is the highlight of an intense viticultural year.
Cellar
In the cellar, Geyerhof's main goal is to safeguard the level of quality created in the vineyard and to maintain the individuality of the wines through their purposeful “low-intervention” approach.
The Geyerhof Collection
Ostentatious, loud and opulent wines have never been the Geyerhof way. The quality of their wines lies in their individuality and longevity. In times of regulations, laws and market pressure, they can and should reflect the characteristics of the soil, the grape variety and the vintage. Sometimes rough and complex, at other times light and carefree: as variable as the years, life and people themselves.
