The time of the big power wine is over. Less alcohol, but more character; that's the kind of wine people prefer today. This is a perfect fit for the Martinshof winery as this is precisely where their strengths lie.
They make light wines with a fuller aroma and a more grown-up taste. Edges and corners are expressly desired. Long live obstinacy! The great-grandfather planted Pinot Blanc vines. Unfortunately, the variety yielded too little at that time and had to disappear again. The Martin family is bringing Burgundy back into play and is focusing on an "Austrian Burgundy" because they believe in its qualities here.
In the meantime, the winery cultivates 16 hectares in the best sites of Ortisei: Hausberg, Sonnberg and Galgenberg. The aim is to appeal to special customers - individualists with a penchant for fine Pinot. Of course, these connoisseurs know that Burgundian wines are complicated and sometimes even capricious. But what often doesn't make sense in the head, makes deeper sense when the heart is involved - and suddenly it fits.
Recently, they have added a vermouth in an earthenware bottle.
