When the quiet of winter has settled over southern Styria, you might get the impression at first glance that time stands still here. But don't worry - especially in winter there is a lot going on in southern Styria. In the cellars of the wineries, work continues in the cold months after the harvest, because the new vintage needs to be created and therefore requires a lot of attention from the winegrowers and their helpers.

A traditional winery since 1495 The Kollerhof of the Lieleg family in Leutschach has a long history (not only) linked to viticulture. First mentioned in a document in 1495, the pretty winery has been in the family since 1728. It is, how could it be otherwise, the leading southern Styrian varieties such as Welschriesling, Gelber Muskateller and Co. that are mainly produced here in painstaking manual labor. However, master winemaker Harald is not only very traditional, but also very future-oriented, as he proves with the increased planting of PiWi (fungus-resistant) varieties such as Muscaris, Blütenmuskateller, Donauriesling etc. It was climate change that motivated the award-winning winegrower to do this. The advantages are obvious: up to 80% less pesticides are needed, the work on the steep slopes, which is not without danger, is reduced and the vines become more frost-resistant.
