Thomas, born in 1986 as the third of six children, was always involved in helping his parents at the farm. Whether in the vineyard, in the cellar or on the tractor – his passion to work with nature began young. He started out in carpentry, where he accomplished an apprenticeship and worked in the field for almost 10 years before deciding he was going to follow into his parents footsteps. To prepare for his new role, he started working for Simonit & Sirch, the masters of gentle pruning. Being on the road a lot, especially in Burgendland, Austria, he slowly began to have an idea of what kind of wine he wants to make. The first vintage under his leading was 2013, where he started to gently accompanying the wines with 100% spontaneous fermentations, no clarifying, fining or filtering. He is continuously evolving what his father started and now works exclusively with resistant grape varieties. Soil is his love language and a regenerative approach to farming his mission.
