Sommer
On the western shore of Lake Neusiedl, in Donnerskirchen, Weingut Sommer has been rooted since 1698, crafting wines that let the Leithagebirge speak softly. Kathrin and Leo Sommer fuse deep family continuity with a hands-on, curious spirit—precise, never showy.
Vines cling to south‑eastern slopes of limestone, ancient rock and gravelly soils; Pannonian warmth is tempered by cooling breezes from the lake. Grüner Veltliner and Riesling often lead the way, while Blaufränkisch gains a taut, cool-fruited profile. Organic certification, low yields and strict hand harvesting anchor the work in the vineyard.
In the cellar, the motto is minimum intervention: extended time on fine lees, élevage in large oak or neutral vessels, and careful restraint. The “Handwerk” range nods to natural-wine thinking without dogma—delivering tension, texture and unmistakable Leithaberg character.Sommer
