Winery

Our family has been running the Pollerhof here in Röschitz in the Weinviertel for over 100 years. For me, it was already clear when I was a little boy: being a winemaker is the greatest thing. This has not changed to this day. Even though a lot has changed otherwise. The farm has been lovingly renovated, the vineyards now cover 20 hectares, there are modern facilities in the cellar and – very important for us – we are certified organic.

I want to bring as much of nature as possible into the bottles. Unadulterated. High quality. Flavorful. For this, I always develop my own ideas and constantly try out new things. Of course, breaking new ground is not always comfortable, sometimes you just get a shake of the head. But it is exciting. It enriches my work, makes it more lively and – yes – it makes my wines better.

One of these ideas is the chicken garden. Who would let chickens into their vineyard? No one in my neighborhood does it. There I am the only one far and wide with egg understanding. Our chickens busily peck worms and sprouts among the vines, scratch the soil with their claws and fertilize it too. As a bonus, there are fresh eggs every day and I have less work in the vineyard. In new German we say: A clear win-win situation.

CHICKEN'S GARDEN

And again Erwin Poller has an exciting project in bottles bottled and a story transformed into pleasure. The idea is relatively banal: Erwin Poller farms his vineyards very close to nature and gentle, there lies the idea of small Engage employees for the vineyard close - chicken in the vineyard. Chickens are industrious tillers of the soil, pecking the long day, looking for worms and fertilizing the soil. ground, so not enough, they even lay eggs and delight our mind just by their presence. Evening they then march united into the stable built for them, which protects from cold and foxes by means of solar-powered door. The poller's specimens were from factory farming so-called rejects because of declining demand for Laying performance. In the vineyards they now have their most important Task found - live.

LÖSS, GOLDEN DUST

During the cold ages, about 2.5 million years ago, westerly winds carried fine sand from glacial areas and dry river valleys several hundred kilometers into eastern Austria. These deposits created fertile löss soil. Löss provides a home for endangered species of bees and wasps, as well as the rare bird, bee-eater. On this fertile "golden dust" our vines grow and thrive. from their grapes we press our "vom löss", which reflects the fertility of these soils. Our unique label, which is real golden dust (loess), is carefully applied by hand.

WOMAN MAYER

when mrs. mayer leased out her vineyard in january 2006, then
only for the reason that erwin poller promised her her grapevines with
to treat them with the same devotion and respect that they would
did. for decades, no winter day has been too cold for her, no summer day too
hot, no effort too great to maintain your vineyard. in winter
2006 the day had come for mrs. mayer to put trustworthy hands
for their life's work, letting go and continuing the legacy
to give. in autumn the first harvest was brought in, but unfortunately
Mrs. mayer was no longer able to experience this moment. the small
quantity of wine takes a special place in our wine cellar every year
one. also in 2022, it is once again a large independent green
veltliner become. connection and gratitude are what lead us to
inspire this tribute to mrs. mayer.
