Ecker-Eckhof, located in Kirchberg am Wagram in the Niederosterreich region, is run as a family business with history stretching back 400 years.

The winemaker, Bernhard Ecker, stands for constant top quality without compromises. His wines display great clarity and finesse as well as longevity, which wine-lovers appreciate year in and year out.
Weingut Ecker-Eckhof Gruner Veltliner Ried Schlossberg is particularly well suited to Austrian traditional cuisine, such as offal in veal broth.
