Fruit growing

Fruit cultivation since 1402

Best quality fruit juices

There is a long tradition for fruit cultivation at Stift Klosterneuburg which has continued uninterrupted since the foundation of the abbey in the year 1114. The orchard was established in 1402 on the other side of the Danube River in Langenzersdorf. The orchard comprises mostly apple trees of which there are several varieties. The trees thrive in ideal preconditions on the loose, warm and fertile alluvial soils of the Danube. The region is pampered by the sun and the warm climate influences of the Pannonian Steppe to the east. The Danube River current regulates the flow of air and enhances the temperature differences between day and night which support the development of aroma and character of the various apple varieties.

The trees in the orchards have an advantageous variation in age. Unripe fruit is rigorously discarded in early summer so that the trees may concentrate on the ripening of the remaining apples. Fruit cultivation is practiced sustainably and beneficial insects are protected. Fruit is harvested exclusively by hand in several passages as the apples ripen.

The assortment of apple and fruit varieties in the orchards of Stift Klosterneuburg comprises a conscientious mixture of traditional and modern varieties. Classics like Golden Delicious and Granny Smith are cultivated alongside high-quality new crossings like Idared and Jonagold in the prime Langenzersdorf orchards. The gentle processing of fruit yields unfiltered, naturally cloudy apple and fruit juices of the highest quality.
