Weingut Gerhard Markowitsch
Germany
The name Markowitsch undoubtedly holds a strong position among the most prominent wine producers in the picturesque Carnuntum region of Austria. Their extensive range of white and red wines, characterized by diverse price points and high quality, is elegant and appealing to every wine enthusiast.
This innovative winemaker is constantly seeking new ways to unlock the unique nuances of the Carnuntum terroir, actively experimenting with oak barrels of various sizes and from different producers. It is here that some of Austria's most interesting and highly regarded ‘Pinot Noir’ wines are born, often compared to the examples of Burgundy for their subtlety and elegance.
Wine Style
Markowitsch wines are characterized by expressiveness, excellent balance, and elegance. They harmoniously blend fruitiness, minerality, and subtle oak notes, perfectly reflecting the character of the Carnuntum region.
White wines, among which ‘Grüner Veltliner’ and ‘Weissburgunder’ (Pinot Blanc) dominate, are fresh, mineral-driven, with vibrant aromas of fruit and herbs.
Red wines, especially ‘Pinot Noir’ and ‘Zweigelt’, are elegant, with smooth tannins, juicy aromas of red and dark berries, and subtle spices.
Prestigious Vineyards
Weingut Markowitsch manages vineyards in the best locations of the Carnuntum region, where the soils and microclimate are ideal for growing high-quality grapes:
Vineyards situated on slopes with clay, gravel, and limestone soils impart minerality and complexity to the wines.
A favorable climate with warm days and cool nights ensures optimal grape ripening and aroma development.
Meticulous work in the vineyard and cellar allows Markowitsch to create wines of exceptional character.
Aging and Drinking Period
Markowitsch wines are crafted for enjoyment both in their youth and after aging in the bottle. Their excellent balance and structure allow the wines to develop successfully over time, gaining even more complexity and subtlety. This is especially true for their top-tier ‘Pinot Noir’ wines, which can age beautifully for many years.
