Weinbau Heidi Schröck Rust, Neusiedlersee-Hugelland

Undoubtedly one of the most prominent female winemakers on today's Austrian wine scene, Heidi Schröck runs the family winery at Rust, on the banks of the Neusiedlersee near the Hungarian border. Here from 8 hectares of vineyards in top sites she crafts a wide range of lovely wines, principally from indigenous Austrian red varieties such as Zweigelt, St. Laurent, and Blaufränkisch, but also including historic white varieties such as Furmint (the Hungarian Tokay grape) and Muscat-Lunel (aka Gelber Muskateller), which hark back to the days of the Austro-Hungarian empire, plus a few international varieties. In addition to her range of reds and whites, Heidi also is noted for her range of Ruster Ausbruchs. Heidi's rise to fame has included en route a stint as Austrian Wine Queen, time working in Germany and South Africa, and most recently the award of Vintner of the Year by Falstaff magazine, one of Austria's leading wine publications. She teaches at the Austrian Wine Academy headquarters in her home town of Rust, and is a member of "Le Donne del Vino" and the "Cercle Ruster Ausbruch".
