Ingrid Groiss defines herself with these three terms: Passion, feeling and determination. She has been running her parents' family business since 2010 - with flying colors, as you can see. The young Weinviertel winemaker began with classic, varietal wines that reflect her personality, the expression of the region and its sites. She has remained true to her line until today. She is particularly concerned with producing natural and individualistic wines with a profile of provenance and varietal characteristics. Her personal signature underlines and emphasizes the organic cultivation of the vineyards. In recent years, she has made a name for herself internationally through her consistency, and her wines are highly regarded by many sommeliers. Her greatest success to date has been with her Gemischter Satz, which combines both ancient traditions and modern winemaking and is a delight for every consumer.
Ingrid Groiss also focuses on the Grüner Veltliner grape variety. Here, the winery's own single vineyard sites expressively show the distinctive soil-typical features of the mineral primary rock, conglomerate and limestone soils shaped by the primordial sea.
For the young winemaker, working in harmony with nature comes first. Her trademark, the brown hare, symbolizes the careful handling of the vineyard habitat and the connection with the vineyard life. The special sites around Breitenwaida and Fahndorf and the old vines suit her and her philosophy very well. In 2016, the conversion to organic farming took place - an essential step for her to perfect the profile of the wines even further. In addition to the manual grape harvest, perfect grape material and giving the wines time to develop successfully in the cellar are the other cornerstones. For this reason, Ingrid Groiss has also decided to bring her wines to market later and to show only bottled wines from now on.
On weekends, the Groiss family runs an excellent wine tavern in Breitenwaida near Hollabrunn, where you can also get to know the wines of the aspiring cellar master. Groiss is definitely a name to remember for the future.
