To work with nature
means to trust nature
Hand-crafted wines of origin since 1803
For almost 200 years, family-run Weingut Wohlmuth has sat — quite literally — atop Kitzeck im Sausal. It hails from a region known for its many thrilling extremes, a perfect cradle for grand wines.
Since 1803, the Wohlmuth family and its estate in Südsteiermark (South Styria) have cultivated vineyards in and around the highest winegrowing town in the region, Kitzeck im Sausal. The estate owns several of the steepest vineyards anywhere in Europe, with a nearly 100% gradient that requires tremendous work and passion. The extremely sparse slate soils quite literally call the shots here —their unmistakable character shapes each wine.
