In order to emphasize the special characteristics of the Schilcher, the winegrowers of Wernersdorf have joined together to form the EmmausWinemakers. As a joint product, the winegrowers press the EmmausWein® as a special quality wine.
The Emmaus wine represents a special rarity: The grapes of the marked Emmaus lines are harvested by all Emmaus vintners at the same time and brought to a Emmaus vintner. Of course, this part of the wine production is celebrated with a "Pressfest" during the campaign week "Es gärt im SchilcherDORF", always in mid-October.
On Easter Monday, the Emmaus wine is blessed at the so-called Emmausausgang in the Emmaus Chapel in Wernersdorf and then offered to guests for tasting or sale.
On Easter Monday, during the traditional Emmaus Outing, the Emmaus wine is blessed during the service and then offered to visitors for tasting and sale.
