David Oberkofler

Coming Up

At Bioweinbau Oberkofler, David Oberkofler has been winemaker since 2007. The date marks a steady practice rather than a break with the past: work shaped by continuity, with the vineyard setting the pace and the method.

Where They Are Now

At Bioweinbau Oberkofler, the craft starts in the ground, not in the cellar. David Oberkofler treats wine as an outcome of farming practice first, and the emphasis stays on the health and character of the soil. “Organic is the most important thing; the soil is the key that makes the whole system work.” In that view, the vineyard functions as an ecosystem, and the wine registers the condition of the land. The move to the countryside also gives the work its scale. “We wanted to move to the countryside, we wanted a bit of peace and agriculture.” That choice ties daily work to a wider setting where agriculture is not background but the basis of the life around it.

Signature

David Oberkofler’s signature wines include Carpe Noctem, Cabernet Jura, Bronner, Uhudler Fritz, and Sauvignac 2025. The range points to a portfolio guided by the same organic approach, with each wine tied back to the vineyard practice that shapes it.

In Their Words “Organic is the most important thing; the soil is the key that makes the whole system work.” “For me, organic winemaking has always been the only thing.”
