Groszer Wein

It is the passion for the unique terroir of the Eisenberg in southern Burgenland that drives Edgar Brutler and Markus Bach. On this idiosyncratic mountain with its old vines in steep locations grow grapes with a special character. Wild and unspoilt and sometimes frighteningly stubborn. But it is precisely this strength of character that appeals to Edgar Brutler and Markus Bach. Together with their understanding of the production of wine, they create drops that are tasty but don't follow fashion. Groszer Wein stands for ecological agriculture. Because we are firmly convinced that organically cultivated vineyards bring more harmonious wines to the glass. Our approach to winemaking sounds simple: As little as possible, as much as necessary - and with a lot of gut feeling. On the one hand, this means that we consciously avoid some oenological aids. Our wines have to get along with what the vineyard has given them. On the other hand, we trust in our senses. We don't read the grapes when they have reached a certain level of sugar, but when we personally like them. Sounds romantic and simple, but it isn't. This requires a lot of experience and foresight. The time of harvest is one of the most important factors for the later taste of the wine. That is why we regularly go through each vineyard very carefully and taste the grapes in various places in order to get the feeling for the right time. In the cellar, careful handling of the grapes is essential. In Groszer Wein, grapes are not pumped. That is why we lift a lot, tilt and, if there is no other way, shovel. There are details that seem to make little or no difference on their own. But a lot of small details make a big difference. In the end, we want to bring wines into the bottle that do not require any critical analysis, but rather that create a good feeling through their good taste. The same good feeling we have when creating. Love for our craft that can be tasted in the glass
