The estate is small, under 3. 5 hectares, in the village of Schrattenberg, in an area called Poysdorf, on the Czechoslovakian border. Its as far north in the Weinviertel as you can get. The climate here is much cooler than the Danube river area, perfect for making sparkling wine. Prior to returning home in 2003, Christian worked at Champagne Sanger in Avize, Raumland
