Thank you, Anna
Our former colleague Anna has long been raving about her fellow student Katharina Gessl: that she has a penchant for aesthetics, that she is a nice person, but above all that she makes great wines. Finally we can welcome Katharina to the 8greenbottles family! Katharina moves skillfully between innovation and tradition, between the tried and tested and the new. Her wines reflect this potpourri of ideas: they are simultaneously unpretentious and balanced, but also enchanting and free. And they go particularly well with bread and butter (Katharina's favorite food).
From Katharina Gessl with love
Weinviertel, Austria
It is almost impossible to describe the Weinviertel in a short text. The wine region is huge, and the climate, the soils and the grape varieties that thrive in the different villages are at least as varied. Where the primordial sea once reigned supreme, all that remains are oyster reefs, mussels and limestone. The rain from winter and spring is stored meters deep and released drop by drop to the vines. But don't be fooled - a wine "mountain" here is at most a beautifully gentle hill. The dry Pannonian climate is particularly noticeable in Katharina Gessl's vineyards: The berries are fully ripe with good spice and high acidity.
