Producer Profile

Koppitsch

Alexander and Maria Koppitsch began making wine in Burgenland in 2011. They took over their parents 5.5-hectare winery and moved from selling their grapes into making their own wine. The vineyards are in the Neusiedl am See, a small village situated at the shores of the Neusidl Lake and on the eastern end of the Leitha Mountains which feature soft, rolling hills of mostly limestone soil. Like his father and grandfather before him, Alex does not believe in introducing any additives into the grapes or the wine. They use Rudolf Steiner’s biodynamic principles to cultivate their grapes, and pride themselves on performing every aspect of the vineyard management and the winemaking by hand, on a very small scale. - Jenny & Francois

Where The Wines Come From

Weinland

In the heart of Europe lies Weinland, a diverse and dynamic region encompassing Austria, Germany, and Switzerland. This historic wine-producing area is gaining recognition for its commitment to natural winemaking practices. From the steep terraced vineyards of the Wachau in Austria to the picturesque slopes of the Mosel in Germany and the rolling hills of the Swiss Alps, Weinland's winemakers embrace sustainable and organic farming methods to cultivate their vines. They eschew chemical additives and manipulation in the cellar, allowing the grapes to ferment spontaneously and express their true character. The result is a wide range of vibrant and expressive wines that reflect the unique terroir of each region. From crisp, aromatic whites to elegant, earthy reds and delicate sparkling wines, Weinland's natural wines capture the essence of the region's rich cultural heritage and its deep-rooted connection to the land. As the demand for authentic, terroir-driven wines continues to grow, Weinland stands as a beacon of innovation and tradition in the world of natural winemaking.
