After spending a year in South Africa with Craig Hawkins, of Testalonga, Matthias came back to Austria and got his first two hectares in Etsdorf with Grüner Veltliner and Zweigelt in 2011. By now he’s at 10 hectares which he mostly got from his father Ernst. Some vineyards are still being converted to organic, but most are already. He is constantly evolving how he makes wine and later did another learning session with Tome Lubbe of Matassa in the Roussillon.
