Pratsch Stefan
Between soft loess ridges and pockets of limestone in the Weinviertel, “Wine by S. Pratsch” from Hohenruppersdorf captures a distinctly modern Austrian voice—guided by Stefan Pratsch, who united two long‑rooted local wine families into one estate.
For around three decades the vineyards have been farmed organically, with cover crops, living soils and strict yield control to balance Pannonian warmth with the cooling air that settles in the hollows. From estate sites and trusted partner parcels, the focus stays on clarity: Grüner Veltliner and Riesling, alongside regional reds, are built on substance rather than cellar tricks.
In the winery, Pratsch favors calm processes—selective hand picking, spontaneous ferments where fitting, extended lees contact and restrained sulphur in the more natural cuvées. The result is craftsmanship that feels invisible: precise, dry wines that read like a translation of place, meant to evolve.Pratsch Stefan
