Christina Gruner Veltliner

Grüner Veltliner

Carnuntum, Austria

The Netzl family has lived and farmed in the very same village since 1650. Christina Netzl, having helped her family with running the mixed farm and vineyards since an early age, knew she wanted to be a winemaker already at the tender age of five. Inspired by the quality of the natural wines she discovered while living in London and the birth of her two daughters, Christina decided to turn the whole property organic in 2013 and started her own range of natural wines two years later. The labels of Christina wines, art-directed by her husband, are a tribute to the beneficiary insects that inhabit the vineyards. Not all bugs are bad – these useful little critters help manage pests and build soil health and biodiversity, which is so important in natural winemaking!
