Manfred Ebner-Ebenauer

Coming Up

Training at Weinbauschule Krems gave Manfred Ebner-Ebenauer a working base in precision, technique, and craft. That foundation shows up in the way decisions are made: attentively, with process given real weight, and with an eye toward control rather than force. Since 2007, he has been winemaker of Weingut Ebner-Ebenauer, a role that has anchored his work and defined its continuity.

Where They Are Now

The Poysdorf post remains the central fact of his career: winemaker at Weingut Ebner-Ebenauer from 2007 to the present. That position places Manfred Ebner-Ebenauer inside the estate’s core decision-making, where the line between human intention and the vineyard’s own terms is worked out before the press.

Signature

Cuvée Courage Zero Dosage Vintage, Cuvée Courage, and L'Autrichienne sit among Manfred's signature wines. The set points to a style built around structure and nuance, with each cuvée carrying its own shape while remaining within the framework he has helped establish at Weingut Ebner-Ebenauer.

In Their Words “We have set ourselves the goal of making wines as an expression of our ideas; we exchange opinions on a wine before we press the grapes.” “Nature has written the script for our wines, we just sit in the director's chair!” Those lines lay out the working order: discussion before action, restraint before release, and a clear view that the vineyard sets the terms long before the cellar enters the conversation.

Honors

Falstaff Winemakers of the Year sits among Manfred's honors. In a trade that measures reputation through consistency as much as finish, the recognition sits alongside a career built on patience, clarity, and a steady commitment to letting wines emerge as considered expressions rather than declarations.
