Degustace Christoph Körner

Guided by Christoph Körner

Join winemaker Christoph Körner for an evening in English, presenting two interpretations of one terroir — two distinct handwritings of engaged winemakers.

The Terroir of Falkenstein

The Village of Falkenstein is the historic center of the wine region stretching from Southern Moravia to Vienna.

• Famous for limestone soils, cellar alleys, and the castle overlooking the valley

• Documented wine tradition since the 12th century

• Home of the oldest wine law book from 1309

• Known for elegance, fine acidity, and chalky minerality

Today Falkenstein is best known for:

• Grüner Veltliner – spicy and fresh

• Burgundy varietals – elegant and long-lived
