Weingut Salomon Undhof

Two Countries, One Passion for Winemaking

The Salomon family's wine journey is truly remarkable. While the name "Weingut Salomon Undhof" is historically tied to the deep traditions of Austrian white wines in the Kremstal region, winemaker Bert Salomon always dreamt of producing top-tier red wines. His love for Australia, sparked in the 1970s while working for the Schlumberger company, eventually became a reality. In 1995, he acquired the "Salomon Estate" winery in the Finniss River region, just 50 kilometers from Adelaide, successfully merging Old and New World winemaking.

Historical Connection and Family Heritage

Interestingly, Bert Salomon's expansion into Australia was not coincidental. Back in 1866, his ancestor Johann Nepomuk Hinteröcker emigrated from the Wachau region to Australia, where he worked at the historic Seven Hills winery and later founded St. Ignatius College. More than a century later, Salomon's descendants returned to the continent to continue the family's viticultural legacy.

The Salomon Family Wine Portfolio

For wine enthusiasts, this producer offers a choice between two radically different yet equally high-quality directions:

• Austrian Elegance: Precise, crisp, and mineral-driven white wines from Kremstal that perfectly reflect the region's classic terroir.
• Australian Power: Shaped by a warm climate, this rich and expressive red wine from South Australia stands out with its dark berry aromas and robust structure.

Food Pairings

Thanks to their broad spectrum of styles, these wines are incredibly versatile at the dining table. The Austrian whites pair beautifully with poultry, fish, and light salads, while the powerful Australian reds demand dry-aged steaks or game dishes.
