Austrian winemaker Sepp Muster has had some winemaking practice. He took over his family's estate, located in Styria, about twenty years ago, immediately converting to biodynamic viticulture immediately. All of the wines here are spontaneously fermented in large wooden barrels and aged in in neutral 225 liter casks.

The soils there are a mixture of clay and silt, quite similar to those Elisabetta Foradori farms in Italy near the Austrian border. This combination provides optimum drainage (silt) in rainy weather, but hydrates the vines (clay) during hotter, drier spells. Under this is bedrock made of limestone, which imparts Muster's wines with marvelous structure and assertive minerality.
