In a forgotten corner of Styria, Gottfried Lamprecht farms a 9 hectare single vineyard plot called Buchterberg. He planted the vineyard himself in a process that started in 2006. From the start, he's farmed organically without the use of chemical pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers. With a goal to recover the tradition of making field blends to showcase terroir, he's planted over 100 white varieties along with many reds. His soils are calcareous with a mix of lighter sand and gravel along with the famous heavier 'opok' soils in which the reds perform best. Irrigation is not necessary, and harvesting is by hand.

In the cellar, he works simply and cleanly. Grapes are typically destemmed and macerations are on the shorter side and gentle. Natural fermentation and aging occurs in barrel of various sizes, most of which is coopered locally. The wines age on their lees for an extended period in his cold cellar. Nothing is rushed. Bottling occurs without fining, filtration, and with only minimum sulfur additions.
