Dancing drops

This winemaking family has rhythm in their blood

Every drop dances to a musical beat in the barrel, bottle and glass of the Strobl family of winemakers in Poysdorf. Because the young winemaker's mother and sisters all play an instrument. 

"Whether in the vineyards, in the cellar or in the tasting room - we always have a song on our lips," smiles the budding Weinviertel star winemaker Roman Strobl during the "Krone" local inspection in the courtyard of the musical Hauer family. Roman is inspired by his sisters Verena on the bass guitar and Christa Strobl, who is a virtuoso on the flute, as well as his girlfriend Barbara Habitzl. She accompanies the fine house concert with the ukulele. The "Tröpferl" orchestra is complemented by mom Karin Strobl and her guitar skills.

Wine with a certain touch
The quartet's talents also run like a red "string" through the selection of bottles. With notes on the labels. Particularly precious in the truest sense of the word - the Riesling Andante! The Weinviertel DAC "Allegro" is also not from bad parents and finally there is the "Adagio" Zweigelt, a "golden throat" in its own right. This is because it earned Roman Strobl top honors at the Lower Austrian wine awards.
