One of the outstanding producers of the Niederösterreich (Lower Austria), Ingrid Groiss is set on land with many diverse terroirs and loess soils. Groiss produces white wines from indigenous grape varieties, including Grüner Veltliner, Riesling, and Gemischter Satz (a traditional field blend). A small family business, Weingut Ingrid Groiss has Ingrid at the helm, her father helping with tractor work, and her mother assisting in the vineyards. The family oversees 20 hectares (49.4 acres) of organic vineyards, crafting a focused range of wines, including four single vineyard wines grown on 50-year-old vines. Ingrid Groiss studied winemaking at Universität für Bodenkultur and returned home to eventually inherit vineyards from both her mother’s and father’s sides of the family.
The wines were outstanding and showed serious depth and character. I love the 2022 Weingut Ingrid Groiss ‘Ried Sauberg’ Gruner Veltliner (OB, 94) which is rich and beautifully textured stuff that is built to age.
