Gottschuly Grassl
Gottschuly Grassl operates in Carnuntum, Austria's easternmost wine region, where continental climate and loess-rich soils create conditions for bold red wines. The winery focuses on varieties that thrive in this warm pocket of Niederösterreich: Merlot, Syrah, and Zweigelt. Rotundo, their Merlot, and Syrah represent the winery's commitment to these grapes, with both earning recognition from Falstaff. Hoher Weg, a Zweigelt, rounds out their core portfolio. Carnuntum's terroir—marked by warm days, cool nights, and mineral-laden earth—suits these varieties well, yielding wines with structure and depth. The winery's selection reflects the region's identity as a source of serious, age-worthy reds rather than lighter, fruit-forward styles.
