Biowein Lenhart (David & Doris Lenhart)

Biowein Lenhart is the passion project of David and Doris Lenhart, a dynamic couple who turned their shared enthusiasm for authentic wine into a thriving organic winery in the renowned Wagram region of Lower Austria. David, a former special education teacher, exchanged his chalk for pruning shears to pursue a more direct, hands-on connection with nature and craft.

Philosophy: "Accompanying, Not Processing"

The Lenharts' philosophy centers on pure, uncomplicated, and sustainable winemaking, summarized by their goal to "accompany the wine, not process it."

• Organic Roots: The vineyard plots in Fels am Wagram have been managed organically by Doris's father for over 30 years, providing a foundation of healthy soils and strong, chemical-free vines. David and Doris continue this tradition with a strong focus on certified organic and sustainable practices.

• Low-Intervention: In the cellar, intervention is kept to an absolute minimum. The approach is to let the unique characteristics of the grape and the terroir shine. This often results in wines with low sulphur and a natural profile.

• Focus on People: Above all, the Lenharts believe their wines should not take center stage but should rather "accompany beautiful moments in life and make them even more beautiful." The focus is always on the shared experience and the joy of life.

Region & Signature Wines

The vineyards are situated on the Wagram—a mighty loess-rich terrace—which provides ideal conditions for winegrowing, known for its long, sunny periods and excellent air circulation.

• Löss Terroir: The deep, calcareous Löss soils imbue the wines with a distinctive minerality and complexity.

• Key Varieties: The focus is on traditional Austrian varieties like Grüner Veltliner, Roter Veltliner, and Zweigelt, alongside international grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon.

• The Rosés: They are particularly noted for their distinctive Rosé wines, such as 'jelly belly' and 'pink ink,' which have garnered high praise for their freshness, vibrancy, and unique character. They also produce lively Pét-Nats(naturally sparkling wines).
