Markus Altenburger

In 2006, Markus took over the family winery in the Leithaberg in Burgenland.

The regional limestone Leithakalk soil produces high acid, mineral wines. The lack of nutrients in the soil force the vines to bury deeper into the ground, giving the wines their signature minerality.

Markus’ winemaking is very natural and solely focuses on grape varieties that best express this unique terroir – Blaufränkisch and Chardonnay, producing authentic, honest, structured and long living wines.
