The Biegler winery cultivates ten hectares of vineyards in the Thermenregion. These are located in the preferred sites on the south-eastern slopes of the local Anninger mountain. The climate is favoured by the warm downslope winds and the heat-storing calcareous soils, and the grapes are protected by the mountain as they ripen into special plants. The company headquarters, a romantic farmhouse in the centre of the village, houses the entire production facility. Wine enthusiasts from all over the world meet Othmar Biegler here to taste his unique wines. The winemaker is a Gumpoldskirchner with all his heart, he was born here in 1962. Although his training took him to Klosterneuburg and Germany, it was basically clear: the beautiful family winery in Gumpoldskirchen should bear his signature.
You don't have to be good, you have to be better to achieve something - in general, to have the reputation of being a top winemaker. Othmar Biegler pursues his goals unwaveringly, with inspiration and commitment - and is also incredibly successful. The wines he makes do not always swim with the mainstream or even follow current fashion trends. They all have their own character: crystal clear, elegant, varietal and flint clean. "The most important things happen in the vineyard without my intervention. I can only provide support and ensure that the vines have the best conditions. The grapes remain on the vine until the very last moment, are only harvested selectively by hand and processed quickly and cleanly. That's all," says the Gumpoldskirchner modestly.
