Ludwig Ehn winery in Langenlois

Close to nature and flexible: The Ehn winery.

At Ludwig and Michaela Ehn's winery, nature sets the tone. The siblings cultivate 15 hectares of the best vineyards in Langenlois according to organic principles and with great passion for their craft. "As close to nature as possible, as flexible as necessary," is the credo of Ludwig Ehn, who runs the family business, founded in 1859, with his sister in the fifth generation. To create the ideal conditions for the best grapes with healthy soils and vines, the winery relies on pest control methods that protect beneficial insects and maintenance fertilization, avoids plastic, and minimizes tractor travel and emissions.

Respect for terroir and variety go hand in hand.

The Kamptal climate and the unique soil structure pave the way for the unmistakable freshness and spice of Ehn wines. The diverse range of top vineyard sites, such as Panzaun, Spiegel, and Heiligenstein, forms the basis for a variety of grape varieties that is unparalleled in the Kamptal. In addition to the flagship varieties Grüner Veltliner and Riesling, the winery is also dedicated to Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and Muscat, as well as the traditional Gemischter Satz (field blend).

Kamptal wines for casual drinking

Ludwig and Michaela Ehn, nature lovers and culture enthusiasts, believe that wine is like music: monotony is boring. They appreciate the diversity in the vineyard and in the glass, and place great emphasis on individuality in the meticulous care of each vineyard site and in the vinification process. "Through controlled fermentation and careful aging and maturation phases in stainless steel or wood, we succeed in preserving the character of each variety and vineyard site as authentically as possible," says the winemaker. The expressive, balanced, and highly drinkable wines for which the Ehn name is synonymous confirm this. Wines from the Ehn winery are available directly from the estate at their wine shop in Langenlois and from various retail partners.
