The house began as a roadside inn, opened by Karl's maternal grandfather, where local customers gathered to drink. Karl's mother later married a man from the far side of the mountain who owned vineyards there, a smart move for the business, and presumably for the heart too, and the couple took over the inn together, pouring wine from his land. The vines grow on extremely steep terrain and have never been treated with chemical pesticides or fertilizer. Since 1998, Karl and Eva have farmed them the traditional way: minimal sulphur and kaolin, homemade plant tisanes (nettle, horsetail, yarrow) brewed in two 1,000-liter tanks, and rows scythed entirely by hand, with the middles left uncut. The mountain's geology sets it apart: Sausal predates the Alps and was never underwater, so its soil is made entirely of weathered primary rock (schist, silica, quartz), without a trace of limestone or clay, a genuine rarity in wine country.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv role=\"feed\" aria-label=\"Chat messages\" aria-describedby=\"_r_g5_\" aria-busy=\"false\" data-find-provider-scope=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-sizer-excess=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-index=\"9\" data-last-message=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv role=\"article\" aria-setsize=\"10\" aria-posinset=\"10\" aria-label=\"Message 10 of 10\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-test-render-count=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"group\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"contents\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-is-streaming=\"false\" class=\"group relative relative pb-[var(--msg-assistant-pb,0.75rem)]\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"font-claude-response relative leading-[1.65rem] [\u0026amp;_pre\u0026gt;div]:bg-bg-000\/50 [\u0026amp;_pre\u0026gt;div]:border-0.5 [\u0026amp;_pre\u0026gt;div]:border-border-400 [\u0026amp;_.ignore-pre-bg\u0026gt;div]:bg-transparent [\u0026amp;_.standard-markdown_:is(p,blockquote,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6)]:pl-2 [\u0026amp;_.standard-markdown_:is(p,blockquote,ul,ol,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6)]:pr-8 [\u0026amp;_.progressive-markdown_:is(p,blockquote,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6)]:pl-2 [\u0026amp;_.progressive-markdown_:is(p,blockquote,ul,ol,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6)]:pr-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid grid-rows-[auto_auto] min-w-0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row-start-2 col-start-1 relative grid grid-rows-[auto_auto] isolate min-w-0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row-start-1 col-start-1 relative z-[2] min-w-0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"standard-markdown grid-cols-1 grid [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;_*]:min-w-0 gap-3 standard-markdown\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe estate's three parcels, Hochegg, Koregg, and Kreuzegg, have been gradually replanted since 1998 with Blaufränkisch, Pinot Noir, Morillon (Chardonnay), and Rotburger. Koregg stands apart from the other two, sparser and sun-baked with an almost Mediterranean character, thick with wild thyme, while Hochegg and Kreuzegg carry the dense biodiversity typical of the mountain's steep, untreated slopes. Harvest starts in late September and runs into October, with each parcel and variety vinified separately and macerated through fermentation. The wines rest in old oak for a year or longer, receive no sulphur dioxide at any stage, and are bottled by hand after a spring-water rinse. It's a small, exacting operation, and the wines carry the mark of that attention in every glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-message-action-bar=\"\" class=\"flex justify-start\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-text-300\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Soil Expedition","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48054417883323,"sku":null,"price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.buvonswine.com\/products\/schnabel-blaufrankisch-koregg","provider":"Buvons Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
