MUSTER GAMLITZ

Steiermark / Styria, Austria

Reinhard Muster is known as something of a renegade in Austria’s Steiermark region, known for its elegant if not rigid winemaking traditions. Reinhard and his wife Claudia’s formula is somewhat different, with a focus on constant experimentation in the cellar to reinterpret their vineyards’ traditional varietals of Pinot Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Muscatel and Riesling.

Though innovation is always top of mind, the winery is rigorous in its pursuit of excellence and dedication to its artisanal craft. The vineyards are hand-tended, the grapes are hand selected and harvested, and the winery is equipped with state-of-the-art tanks, barrels, presses and technology. From vineyard to bottle, every aspect of the wines are shaped by the guiding hand of Reinhard, who explains Muster Gamlitz’s guiding principle: “we believe that good wine is above all made with love”.

While producing some of the finest and most spirited wines in South Styria/Südsteiermark, Reinhard and his team are not without a sense of humor. They’ve dusted off the old labels and winemaking recipes from the 1970’s to create their unique “Retro” line.

The line includes two traditional favorites: an offering of Welschriesling, and the local Rosé called Schilcher. Both are traditionally pressed as they were in the ‘70s, with high acidity, low alcohol, and native yeasts.

The labels however provide the true logic of the line – quoting a traditional Styrian saying, the “Welschriesling isn’t drunk by two people, but rather two bottles by one alone”, so the Rosé offers something for a pair to share together.
