The Branigg winery was first mentioned in the abbey register of the Grottenhofen estate in 1674, making it one of the oldest wineries in the Sausal. It has changed hands six times in its history and was owned by the Wohlmuth family between 1874 and 1920. Unfortunately, it was lost through inheritance and was only re-acquired by Gerhard Wohlmuth at the end of the 20th century. Due to the special microclimate and the long history of the Branigg winery, Gerhard Wohlmuth decided to launch the Branigg brand on the market.
Gerhard Wohlmuth is a perfectionist in both viticulture and vinification. For him, cultivating the vines as close to nature as possible and selective harvesting are the basis for great wine experiences. The manual harvest, which is often carried out in several passes, guarantees physiologically ripe grapes. In the cellar, the winemaker tries to intervene as little as possible and pays great attention to slow and gentle fermentation. Thanks to Gerhard Wohlmuth's sure instinct, fruit-intensive, finesse-rich and complex wines are created. One thing is particularly important to him: "The terroir must also be reflected in the Branigg wines."
