The Winkler-Hermaden winery, idyllically situated on the Kapfenstein Kogel in Southeast Styria, extends over 40 hectares of vineyards. Georg Winkler-Hermaden took over the management from his father Burkhardt in 1977, expanding the estate from its original 4 to 38 hectares. Since 1986, he has managed the winery together with his wife Margot. In 2009, the entire agricultural area was converted to organic farming, which increased biodiversity and improved wine quality. In addition, the 80 hectares of family-owned forest have been providing enough oak wood for aging wine in wooden barrels for 30 years.

With "Olivin," the Winkler-Hermaden winery presents an outstanding red wine made from the Blauer Zweigelt grape variety. These grapes grow on lime-free loose-sediment brown earth soil with volcanic material, which gives the wine its special character. Particularly noteworthy is that the oak trees for the barriques, in which the wine matures, also grow on the same soils, in the same climate, and on the Kapfenstein Kogel.

After one month of mash fermentation, the Olivin matures for 24 months in 300-liter barriques made from Kapfenstein oak. After careful maturation, the wine is bottled and sealed with natural corks. The "Olivin" has a storage potential until 2036, during which it fully develops its aromas.



For over 30 years, "Olivin" has been one of Styria's best red wines, underscoring its outstanding quality and consistency.
