Winemaking:The wines spontaneously ferment in wooden barrels, with some fermenting on the mash and others being racked. Each individual lot is then matured in large, used wood casks. Every barrel is treated differently, with some undergoing oxidative aging and others undergoing malolactic fermentation. Each barrel represents its own unique project.
Viticulture:Hollenburg's vineyards feature conglomerate rock, formed from Limestone Alps sediment carried by the ancient Traisen River. This soil contains varied-sized cobbles and pebbles bound by calcium carbonate, making it calcareous and alkaline (pH 7.5).
