The hills are alive...

...with the sounds of the happy peasants harvesting your grapes and dancing those Styrian folk dances where they slap themselves silly. Seriously, when you could make a name for your family label of Austrian whites, and coincidentally help Austrian wines dig out from under the (still crippling) 1985 Antifreeze Scandal, don't the attractions of Napa seem a little vieux jeu?

 Dating from the 17th century, this castle has its own vineyard, forest and pasture land and is located in a beautiful setting, in an area of Austria likened to Tuscany, but not, I suspect, by Tuscans. In addition to the main castle, there are two houses which are part of the estate and are in need of renovation. The castle itself is lived in at present but would benefit from some sympathetic refurbishment and updating. There is no Baroque like Teutonic Vernacular Baronial Baroque.

 Styria is home to more than 150 cleantech companies, of which one dozen are world technology leaders in their field; this is one of the highest concentrations of leading clean technology companies in Europe. So you could moonlight in some very worthwhile businesses while you age the wines from your (at a guess) Blauer Wildbacher grapes.
