Heidi Schröck
In the medieval lanes of Rust, Heidi Schröck shows how Lake Neusiedl tradition can stay vividly contemporary. The winery in Rust traces its roots back to the late 18th century, and since 1983 Heidi has shaped it with focus and drive—today alongside her sons.
Her name is inseparable from the revival of Ruster Ausbruch: botrytis‑touched grapes, harvested in careful passes, then given time in the old cellar to develop depth through patient élevage. Alongside the sweet heritage, the estate also crafts dry wines from nearby Leithaberg‑influenced sites, where calcareous soils, wind and the lake’s moderation preserve precision.
As a leading figure in the Cercle Ruster Ausbruch, the house balances history with discipline: hand harvesting, strict selection and long maturation, all in service of a quiet message—Rust is not a postcard, but a terroir shaped by reed beds, warm days and cool nights.Heidi Schröck
