Austria
Austrian wine may not be as famous as wine from France, Italy, or California, but it has gained tremendously in profile and popularity recently --- for good reason. Since the mid-eighties Austrian wine laws have tightened up and wineries have changed their focus from quantity to quality and are now producing world class wines. Another reason Austrian wines are getting so much attention is because of their very individual character, owed not only to regional grape varieties not often found elsewhere, but also because of their unique terroir.

Most Austrian wineries are family owned and operated. With an average size of only 4 acres, these small wineries often serve as a second source of income. Even full-time wine makers have an average of only 7 acres of vineyards. This makes Austria a land of boutique wineries with wine makers focused on getting the most quality out of their grapes and terroir as they can. 

Sepp Moser
Since the year 1848 the knowledge of wine has been passed on from generation to generation in the Moser family in Rohrendorf. In the 1950s Lenz Moser revolutionized viticulture in many countries of the world by developing a high vine-training system.

In 1986 his son Sepp Moser founded a new estate, carrying his name, on the basis of the family-owned vineyards. On a total of 50 hectares (124 acres) in two different wine regions (Lower Austria and Burgenland), a broad spectrum of high quality wines is produced every year.

Sepp Moser wines are all now cretified ORGANIC and the winery is in the process of converting to the even more demanding BIODYNAMIC method of farming.
