The Markowitsch family has been growing wine in Göttlesbrunn for more than 200 years. Today, the 65-hectare, certified organic winery is one of the leading wineries in the Carnuntum region and is a member of the "Traditionsweingüter Österreich" association.
The estate produces wines in the categories of regional, local and vineyard wines. The provenance plays a more important role than the grape varieties. The aim here is conscious, precise and terroir-driven vinification in order to give the wines the unmistakable character and identity of Carnuntum, Göttlesbrunn and the special vineyards that the Markowitsch family cultivates.
Among the reds in Carnuntum, the typical Austrian Zweigelt is the leading variety. It is joined by Blaufränkisch as the grand seigneur, Pinot Noir out of pure passion and Merlot as a cuvée partner that sets important tones.
When it comes to white wines, the leading Carnuntum winery concentrates on the Burgundy varieties, Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc Weissburgunder. Austria's No. 1 white wine variety, Grüner Veltliner, is also cultivated.
Markowitsch wines are typically elegant, lively, fresh, characterised by cool aromas and style, powerful, but never overly opulent. They are a pleasure to drink and do not overload the palate. The reds are dark fruity, compact and spicy, with velvety tannins. The whites are straightforward, tight-knit, full of character, exciting, spicy, mineral and sometimes "salty".
