The Hirsch family winery is located in Kammern in Kamptal, not far from the famous Heiligenstein and Gaisberg vineyards. Working with nature instead of fighting against it: the Hirsch family has been successfully following this credo for decades, which has led them to the current biodynamic cultivation of all vineyards. Hirsch is also considered a pioneer of the screw cap. He was one of the first Austrian winegrowers to use only the screw cap up to the top line. In 2011, Johannes Hirsch was named Winemaker of the Year by Falstaff.
