The corporate concept of this winery<br />
should be signed “with the friendly help<br />
of the Mr. Ks”! Johann Schwarz, originally<br />
“just” butcher and grape grower, was for<br />
years a contracted source of prime fruit to the<br />
dessert wine guru Alois Kracher. In <strong>19</strong>99, the<br />
idea of bottling the exceptional Schwarz<br />
grapes on their own evolved between the two<br />
friends (now with the late Kracher’s son Gerhard)<br />
and the inspirational input of the Austrian<br />
vintner Manfred Krankl (sine qua non) in<br />
southern California was also employed. The<br />
idea was to breathe international flair into the<br />
Andau district on the border to Hungary. The<br />
concept resulted in one white, one red, and<br />
one rosé – 50 % of which are exported. The<br />
rosé was eventually replaced with a Strohwein,<br />
a dessert wine specialty made from<br />
grapes that have been left to raisin on reeds<br />
from Lake Neusiedl. Other additions to the<br />
assortment are the “A Lita” line and the “Kumarod”<br />
line both in white and red. The success<br />
of this venture brought the Schwarz Rot<br />
2002 a Falstaff trophy in the year 2004. The<br />
“Schwarz Rot” has since continued to be consistently<br />
among the top ten each year.<br />
