Notes from the Importer: There are many small grower families in Weinviertel working their lands organically and living a sustainable life. Gindl’s new project Michi’s Farm is a way to showcase and celebrate these growers. Michael buys his neighbors’ certified organic fruit at fair market prices with the aim to make delicious and affordable natural wines that shed light on the villages and people of the region. Included in the mix is a small piece of land from his wife Teresa and her family in Staatz, about 30 minutes North of Hohenruppersdorf to the mix.
“These vineyards have been farmed organically longer than mine, and it is such a joy to shed light on these lesser appreciated villages of our region, where the wines also take a more floral and aromatic quality compared to my own vineyards.” - Michael Gindl
