the winery

gols, the northernmost tip of the neusiedlersee wine-growing region, is our home. we cultivate around 24 hectares of vines in prime locations such as gabarinza or heideboden. a good 30% of our vines are white, 70% red, including both local and international grapes. here with us in northern burgenland, the "land of the sun", they find excellent conditions and markus takes particular pleasure in working out their individual characteristics precisely. your feedback and numerous awards confirm that he has a good hand for this every day anew.

the man behind the wine

markus

"vintage 1983, late harvest - i am born in autumn just after the harvest.

after successfully graduating from viticulture school, i am drawn abroad, of course on behalf of wine. after all, i grew up on our winery in gols , where i have always seen my future. during this time, i gain practical experience and new input on viticulture and wine production mainly in new zealand and germany.

in2006, i presented my first own red wine collection, which already met with a great response from local wine experts. just a few years later, in 2011, at the age of only 28, i took over the winery on my own."

the strong woman at his side

ingrid

"i was born in markus' neighbouring village of mönchhof, the oldest wine-growing community in austria. i also got a taste of the fascinating world of wine at an early age.

after graduating from high school and studying international business relations at the university of applied sciences in eisenstadt, i first moved into the field of controlling until the wedding and birth of my children. from then on, i passionately took care of the office and tastings at our farm.

our life becomes complete when we start a family: one year after taking over the winery, we get married. our daughter anna, born in 2013, and our son laurens, born in 2016, make our family happiness perfect."
