The Branigg winery was first mentioned in the abbey register of Grottenhofen in 1674 and is therefore one of the oldest wineries in the Sausal. It changed hands six times in its history and was already owned by the Wohlmuth family between the years 1874 and 1920. Unfortunately, it was lost through inheritance and could only be reacquired 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.
Gerhard Wohlmuth is a perfectionist both in viticulture and in vinification. For him, the closest possible natural care of the vines and selective harvesting are the basis of great wine experiences. The hand 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 a slow and gentle fermentation. Gerhard Wohlmuth's sure instinct results in fruit-intensive, finesse-rich and complex wines. One thing is particularly important to him: "The terroir must also be reflected in the Branigg wines.".
