"Wines made with all our heart and soul" - this phrase is not only on the business card of the Achs-Wendelin winery. The passion as well as the love for nature and wine were already laid in the cradle of Maria Achs-Wendelin and Paul Achs, and you can see and feel that.
Both grew up in a family-run winery in the east of Austria in Gols. There, everything always went hand in hand; "We depend on each other, everyone does what they do best." The young winemakers share their passion for nature and the grape, drawing on their families' wealth of experience over many years and adding young lightness, new visions and modern knowledge.
In addition to refreshing, fruity white wines, the range includes full-bodied, dense red wines, rosé, frizzante and grape juice. The grapes for their quality products ripen in top sites such as Ungerberg, Goldberg and Gabarinza. Family-owned for decades, they are lovingly tended. "Vital and living soils are the basis for healthy grapes and thus also the basis for high-quality wine" - this is the important guiding principle of the two.
The vineyards are cultivated and worked with care and dedication in harmony with nature - and as far as possible, by hand. From harvesting the grapes to vinification in the 200-year-old vaulted cellar to bottling; no bottle leaves the family business without having passed its own high quality controls. Visitors can also see this for themselves: wine lovers can spend the night in a small attached bed and breakfast and experience life in the winery.
In terms of packaging and design too, attention is paid to manufacturing that conserves resources as much as possible. Recycled materials, refillable bottles and cartons that can be returned are examples of their actions. Despite the merger and expansion, the two want to run a family business where guests are heartily welcomed; guests who appreciate buying such a carefully made product and who want to know exactly where their wines come from.
