"Together we can achieve more! We, that's Maria, Ewald and Christian, pulling together, sharing the work and pursuing a common goal: to vinify authentic wines in their home town of Röschitz.
Their grandfather already knew that on the edge of the Weinviertel, in and around Röschitz, there are the best conditions for quality-conscious viticulture. Great primary rock, granite and loess soils and a cool continental climate with little rainfall. The siblings try to convey the characteristics of these soils in their wines, be it the savoury classic Grüner Veltliner, the mineral Riesling or the cool, fruit-driven reds like Sankt Laurent and Pinot Noir. The characteristics of the soil are just as important to them as the drinking pleasure that Gruber wines should convey.
Maria, Ewald and Christian Gruber have been organic farming their many parcels of land for several years. They do this out of conviction! They give nature free rein, promote the self-healing powers of the vines and thus preserve the most valuable resource - the soil of their homeland! As a result, things have changed. The grapes ripen earlier, produce less sugar and alcohol, require less sulphur, and thus produce fresh, long-lasting and uncomplicated wines - wines that the siblings love.
The "wine spirits" that adorn their labels are the result of a consistent strategy of always responding to the ravages of time, bringing the language of wine to the outside world and working with nature rather than against it. They are micro-organisms that provide natural pest control, break down minerals and stimulate fermentation. The organic process gives them the best possible conditions, which in turn helps the Grubers harvest healthy grapes and create distinctive wines.
