The Markowitsch family has been growing wine in Göttlesbrunn for more than 200 years. Today, the 65-hectare certified organic winery is one of the leading wineries in the Carnuntum region and is a member of the Austrian Association of Traditional Wine Estates (ÖTW).
Gerhard Markowitsch and his daughter Johanna produce wines in the categories of regional, local and site wines. The origin is more important to them than the grape varieties, and their aim is conscious, precise and terroir-driven vinification in order to give the wines the unmistakable character and identity of Carnuntum, Göttlesbrunn and their vineyards.
Among the reds in Carnuntum, the typical Austrian Zweigelt is the leading variety. It is joined by Blaufränkisch as the grand seigneur, Pinot Noir out of passion and Merlot as a cuvée partner, which sets important accents.
When it comes to whites, they concentrate on the Burgundy varieties Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc. They also cultivate Austria's No. 1 white wine variety, Grüner Veltliner.
Markowitsch wines are typically elegant, lively, fresh, characterized by cool aromas and style, powerful, but never opulent or opulent. They are a pleasure to drink and do not overload the palate. The red wines are dark fruity, compact, spicy and have velvety tannins. The whites are straightforward, tight-knit, full of character, exciting, spicy, mineral and sometimes salty.
