Georg Schmelzer is a fourth generation winemaker in the Gols region near Lake Neusiedl in Austria. Working organically and biodynamically in the vineyard, Georg rigorously employs a variety of natural methods to maintain soil and vine health. Falling in line with Demeter guidelines, he embraces such practices as the utilization of horn manure, ground crystal, and infusions of herbs (such as horsetail) in order to promote soil health, as well as vine strength and metabolism.
Georg harvests his grapes by hand and ages his wine in neutral oak without filtering, fining, or adding any sulfur. Georg’s finished wines reflect a fierce respect for the land and a disciplined interest in letting his grapes express themselves with minimal intervention.
