An introduction to the Hopler winery
The Hopler winery is located in Breitenbrunn on the western banks of lake Neusiedl, in the Austrian province of Burgenland. Our 43 hectares of cultivated vineyards face south east between the ‘Leithagebirge’ hills and Lake Neusiedl. This creates a warm, humid microclimate where grapes of the highest quality flourish. In addition the contrasting soils of chalk, gravel and sand are rich in calcium as well as in slate and contribute to the unique complexity and character of our wines.
Wines mature in either stainless steel tanks or large oak vats. Some red wines and a small quantity of white wines mature in barriques made of French oak.
Our focus lies in supplying first class restaurants, hotels and gourmet shops and we are privileged to have a number of top restaurants as clients both within Austria and the US.

PINOT BLANC
Our Pinot Blanc – also known as “Weißburgunder” – beguiles with the ripeness of its fruit. Deep golden yellow, pronounced honey flavor, delicate hue of camomile combine to make this a harmonious full and rich wine.
This Pinot Blanc is an extraordinary match for rich seafood, baked calves liver, air dried ham (prosciutto) or ossobuco of rabbit.
