Pittnauer, Burgenland, Austria

Gerhard Pittnauer, introduced to winemaking at 18 after his father's death, discovered his passion in biodynamics. This holistic approach prioritizes the health of the soil and the entire vineyard ecosystem, fostering a natural environment for the grapes. Alongside his wife Brigitte, they craft "living wines" using meticulous, hands-on methods from composting to harvest.

Their commitment to quality extends beyond the cellar. They hand-cultivate the vines and wait for the grapes to reach peak ripeness, driven by nature's timing, not a calendar. They taste for perfect ripeness, selecting only the healthiest grapes before crafting the wine in the cellar, responding to the unique conditions of each vintage.

This dedication to minimal intervention translates to wines brimming with the character of their unique terroir and indigenous grapes.

Free from unnecessary additives, these biodynamic wines might be a delightful choice for those seeking a healthy and sustainable option.
