WEINGUT MICHAEL OPITZ

What makes a good wine? It must taste good to the person who is drinking it. In short, for us, there is (almost) no such thing as a bad wine; it simply tastes different. Variety, origin and vintage – each individual component is essential and should be clear to taste. In harmonious combination they make the wine a complete work of art.
Under the hardworking sunshine of the southern Seewinkel region in the Austrian state of Burgenland, our white and red grape varieties flourish in various vineyards around Apetlon. The unique flora and fauna of this region and its Pannonian climate are just perfect for winegrowing. The result: straightforward and honest wines.
As a relatively young winery, which produced its first drop of wine around the end of the noughties, we do not have a long history and are therefore also under no obligation. That means we are free. We like to move away from the mainstream and to back independent, authentic wines. Organic, sustainable and fair farming is not something we spend a long time talking about – we just get on with it. True to our motto “No tricks. Just wine.” we leave our wine as far as possible as it is: with no unnecessary technology and processing. Ultimately, we simply want to serve our customers good, pure wine – no more and no less.
