The Maringer winery is located in the middle of idyllic Ottenthal, a small wine village with extensive rolling loess hills near Kirchberg am Wagram. Johannes Maringer has been managing the winery there since 2010 and contributes his expertise. Winegrowing has been his vocation since childhood. His goal is clearly defined: To remain connected to tradition and keep his finger on the pulse of the times. Some of the vineyards were already cultivated by his great-great-grandparents.
The Maringer family firmly believes that great wines can only grow in a healthy ecosystem. That is why the winery is certified organic out of conviction. Of course, this means not using herbicides and pesticides, but rather promoting biodiversity in the vineyard. The gentle ageing of their wines is also particularly important to them, with time and tranquillity taking precedence over technical gimmicks. In this way, they vinify authentic wines that reflect their origins.
It's nice when passion is officially confirmed. Several wines were awarded 90+ points at the Wagram DAC Cup by Falstaff. Precision, depth and ageing potential impress critics and connoisseurs alike.
"For me, winemaking is not just a craft, but a way of life. My aim is not to "make" a wine, but to let it develop. I want you to taste the power of our soil and the purity of nature in every sip. That's why the decision to go organic is not just a label for me, but a promise to the future and to the quality in every bottle," says Johannes Maringer.
