Willi Opitz

Direct to the Willi Opitz shop pages.

The first thing you notice about Willi Opitz is his vitality. Even if you see him from a distance, the way that he moves speaks of energy, enthusiasm - obsession even. His wines sing out of this energy, and his energy sings out of his wines.

In his winemaking he uses only native grapes, rejecting the fashionable, superficially attractive foreign varieties. He uses objectivity, not tradition for tradition's sake: hence his idea of Schilfmandl (wines made from grapes dried on the reed mats so plentiful in his area) for which Austrian wine law had to be changed.

By the way our travel company, Grand Cru Travel, host small parties to stay on a short break at Willi's vineyard.
