Description

The Arndorfer watchword is origin. Martin & Anna also believe that the role of the vigneron is crucial – artisanship thus is the combination of creativity, sensitivity and personality. “Origin for us though is restricted to the vineyard and the vines. The vines soak up the vigour of the soil and their surroundings and give the grapes their unmistakable character based on their origin. Even though we do not feel bound by tradition, we want to emphasise that the influence of the vineyard is crucial to our philosophy. We are convinced that it is impossible to make two wines exactly the same if the grapes come from different vineyards, regions or countries.” Martin started to produce his first vintage in 2002 after practical training in Italy and being inspired by the complexity and diversity in wine. Martin got the chance to choose the vineyards he wanted to work with from his parents’ estate old vines and on the most particular hills of his village. Anna joined him in 2009 and in 2012 they took over the winery from his parents and now manage 16 ha in total.
