Zantho
The foundation stone for this winery was laid by Josef Umatham, a successful winemaker from Frauenkirchen, and Wolfgang Peck, an oenologist from Andau, together with selected members of Domaine Andau, in the Neusiedlersee wine-growing region in Burgenland Austria.
The name Zantho is built on our history. Andau is already mentioned as Anthway or Zantho(s) in Old Magyar on the oldest dated document from 1487, which indicates the founding of Andau.
The Pannonian forest lizard – “ The Dadaraxl “ as the Andauer says – adorn our labels. It is primarily native to the Hansag nature reserve, south of Andau and serve as a symbol of our origins and stands for the natural cultivation of our vineyards.
The focus is on local grape varieties such as Gruener Veltliner, Blaufraenkisch, Zweigelt, Blaufraenkisch, Sauvignon Blanc, Moskatel and Welschriesling.
Their wines are full of character – in harmony with the nature.
Today Zantho cultivates 80 hectares and export their products in more than 40 countries.
