Gerhard Wohlmuth

Today, Gerhard Wohlmuth is winemaker of Weingut Wohlmuth, carrying the estate’s identity through a role that is straightforward in title and exacting in practice. Winemaking at Kitzeck im Sausal means decisions in cellar and vineyard have to answer to Southern Styria as a specific place, not a general one. The path here is defined less by breadth than by concentration: one estate, one hillside world, and a name that stands for continuity.

Today, the work sits plainly in one place: winemaker at Weingut Wohlmuth in Kitzeck im Sausal, Austria. The craft is in the title, but the daily task is broader than the word suggests—judgment, patience, and translation, turning a named site into wine that carries its accent. Under the Wohlmuth name at the estate, the role stays tied to geography and to the continuity of a family name on the label. It is a position shaped by fidelity to a very specific stretch of Southern Styria.

Gerhard's signature wines include Riesling Ried Edelschuh, Riesling Ried Dr. Wunsch, Sauvignon Blanc Südsteiermark Ried Edelschuh GSTK 2023, Sauvignon Blanc Ried Steinriegl 2023, and Sauvignon Blanc Ried Hochsteinriegl 2023. The range is built around site and vintage, with each bottle carrying its origin in the name. Riesling Ried Edelschuh and Riesling Ried Dr. Wunsch establish that precision in Riesling, while Sauvignon Blanc Südsteiermark Ried Edelschuh GSTK 2023, Sauvignon Blanc Ried Steinriegl 2023, and Sauvignon Blanc Ried Hochsteinriegl 2023 extend the same approach through the 2023 vintage. The throughline is clear: locality, specificity, and disciplined naming.
