Sattler Vineyards is owned and run by Erich Sattler, trained at the School of Winemaking in Krems, Austria and at the University of Agriculture in Vienna. Upon completing his studies, the young wine maker aimed to transform the fourth generation family winery by combining his deepened knowledge in wine making with the family's experience in vineyard cultivation. Most notably, Erich has sought to master the production of fine wines with the highest international standard of quality while assuring they maintain a strong regional identity. Today, Erich is responsible for the production, wine making and management of the vineyard and is helped by his mother, Regina, stepfather, Joseph and brother, Kurt. Together their great efforts and dedication produce some of the region's most beautiful wines. The family winery maintains 25 acres of vineyards in the village of Tadten, in the Burgenland region of Austria. The primary varieties of the winery are the Austrian Zweigelt and St. Laurent, vinified as "classic" wines in large, venerable vats or as "Reserve" wines in barrique barrels. The wines are distinguished by their density, elegant structure, deep fruit, soft tannins and storage potential. The vast majority of Sattler Vineyard's production is exported internationally although a good portion is distributed through local retailers and the winery. You can find Sattler wines on the wine list of such restaurants like the Wallsee in New York, the Four Seasons in Amsterdam and La Maison Blanche in Paris.
