The vineyard is located on softly to southeast inclined hillsides at the west bank of the „Neusiedler“ lake, protected from rough northwest winds – an optimum micro-climate and heat balance between day and night. The water surface reflects the first sunrays on the Ruster grape-vine in the early hours of the morning: higher sugar formation, finer development of high-grade sourness mushroom and therefore highest wine quality, these are the characteristics of the enchanting wines of the “Elfenhof”.
Since 1642 the vineyard Elfenhof is in the posession of the family. Our family hold the tradition sacred, because for twelve generations here we handed the accumulated knowledge and many small secrets down to our children.
Rust is a paradise for the wine-growing:the layer, the grounds, the climate. This gives us the possibility to grow almost every grape variety. Therefore we can offer an especially wide range of wines to you.
