As a family winery, the Wohlmuth family thinks in terms of generations – and has done so since 1803. Today, the winery is run by Marion and Gerhard J., backed by the experience and unwavering dedication of Gerhard‘s parents Maria and Gerhard.

The Kitzeck-Sausal appellation rises like a solitary figure amidst the surrounding countryside. This is where the Wohlmuth family cultivates their vineyards. The soil is composed of phyllite slate with its characteristic hues of red and black. Shaped by the Alps and the influence of the Mediterranean Sea, an interplay of warmth and cold gives rise to wines that are elegant, mineral, and complex.

Today, 57 hectares of steep slopes are being cultivated primarily in the village of Kitzeck im Sausal in the unique region of southern Styria. Manual pruning and foliage management, selective hand harvesting, along with the absence of herbicides and insecticides, are natural factors of the family’s clear focus on the vineyard.. There has always been a passion for historical vineyards situated on steep slopes. For demanding vineyards that for centuries have been producing the best wines year after year. A commitment that the Wohlmuth family is fully cognizant of, and which they do their utmost to uphold. Elaborate maintenance, careful recultivation, and conservation are the parameters that guide the family’s work. And in the process, Marion and Gerhard are fostering the art of small steps. For their children Moritz, Samuel, and Noah, and for the region in which they live. n
