About the Producer: The Michlits family runs the Meinklang farm which is a wide and varied Demeter-certified agricultural operation cultivating a number of different crops as well as raising 300 Angus cattle. The estate represents what used to be common practice everywhere in the Pannonian countryside: a mixed farming operation, managed by extended family. The farm’s diversity is enriched by ancient grains such as spelt, farro, and Einkorn wheat as well as fruit orchards and vegetable gardens, meadows of wild herbs and flowers, and the elegant charm of the grapevines. The wine estate is well integrated into the farm and led by Angela and Werner Michlits.
