There are stories that are not only told, but lived. One such story is that of Thomas and Claudia Hareter, a winemaking couple who cultivate not just grapes, but a philosophy. This journey begins in the Neusiedlersee region, where the sky is wide and the soil is fertile.
Rooted in tradition
The Hareter Thomas and Claudia winery, as it exists today, has deep roots. The Hareter family has been cultivating vineyards for generations, so Thomas was practically born into viticulture.
But Thomas and Claudia wanted to do more than just carry on the tradition. They wanted to understand nature better, work with it and preserve it. With this vision, they took over the winery and began to follow their very own path. A path that is in harmony with nature and the rhythm of the seasons.
The first step to great deeds
It was a bold step when Thomas and Claudia decided to convert the winery completely to biodynamic cultivation. Renouncing conventional methods was not only a decision for the quality of their wines, but also for the health of the soil and the balance of nature. Respecting nature, not working against it, became their maxim.
Both visionary and down-to-earth
Today, the Hareter Thomas and Claudia winery stands for wines that are produced in harmony with nature and reflect the personality of their origins. Thomas and Claudia are winegrowers who are helping to shape the future of viticulture with their ideas and their work - while always keeping their feet firmly on the ground.
The winery is a place where tradition lives on and new things are allowed to emerge at the same time. A place where nature and craftsmanship unite - and where wine is not just a product, but the expression of a philosophy of life.
Thomas Hareter
Thomas Hareter, a visionary of organic viticulture, discovered his passion for nature and the vines at an early age. With courage and a spirit of innovation, his roots deep in the Burgenland soil, he has made it his mission to create wines that reflect the soul of the region.
Claudia Hareter-Kroiss
Her work is a balancing act between tradition and innovation. She knows how to preserve old values while courageously treading new paths - paths that are often not easy, but are always supported by her deep conviction. Claudia is a woman who dares to think differently, who gives her vineyards the freedom to develop and grow to the rhythm of the seasons.
