The wines of the brothers Karl and Gustav Strauss from Gamlitz are an impressive reflection of southern Styria: sometimes elegant and harmonious, other times a little wild, intense and full of contrasts. All the wines have one thing in common: they combine power with fruit, freshness with plenty of elegance, and they all shine with great drinkability.
Every wine-growing region in the world has its own charm - Südsteiermark has a very special one. Gustav Strauss presses a wide range of quality wines here: from the fruity, fresh regional wines Südsteiermark DAC (Welschriesling, Pinot Blanc, Morillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Gelber Muskateller) to the fruity, full-bodied local wines "Gamlitz" (mainly from the Sauvignon Blanc and Muskateller varieties) and the vineyard wines from the Gamlitzberg and Hundsberg sites, which are matured in large neutral oak barrels and in the "Betonei". In particularly good years, the "Strauss Reserve Linie" from the Gamlitzberg vineyard is pressed. These grapes mature for up to 24 months in barrique barrels until they reach perfection. Sauvignon Blanc, Gelber Muskateller, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay in particular are bottled with great ageing potential.
The winery has been family-owned since 1810 and offers visitors cellar tours and tastings with a fantastic view of the Gamlitzberg. In addition to the main winery, a second branch was opened in 2019: "sleep | eat | drink" at Weinschmiede 18. The Strauss family is always happy to welcome visitors.
