Maria and Alexander Koppitsch

Maria and Alexander took over the existing winery from Alex's parents in 2011 with a clear vision in mind. They want to share their passion for natural wine to the maximum! Alex and Maria are truly dedicated people, be it to their work, family or friends and partners of wine. Alex is constantly in the vineyard and in the cellar, responsible for most of the work himself and Maria takes care of communication and sales. All this with a family of three children, which is worth mentioning considering how much attention family on the one hand and commitment to clean farming on the other demand. Their commitment to the quality of the wines, as well as their representation work in the worldwide natural wine scene is massive. For the past 10 years, they have been touring the world like a band, spreading their wine and philosophy as they initially envisioned it. Their work has paid off and they are exported by some of the best representatives of natural wines from Japan to Montreal. Last year, in 2020, they told all their importers that they will no longer travel abroad as they feel the need is no longer there, considering the environmental footprint their travels create, and they know their long-time wine partners can continue the good representation work. We greatly admire their mindset and constant readjustment with environmental and social issues. The focus now is even more on the vineyard and cellar to continue to improve the quality of their wines. Their vineyards surround the beautiful Lake Neusiedl in northern Austria, which is also reflected in the labels. Here, the future is shaping up positively!
