i. Biography
Gerhard Wohlmuth is winemaker at Weingut Wohlmuth in Kitzeck im Sausal, Austria, and the work is anchored in the precision he names himself: "I am Gerhard Wohlmuth from Weingut Wohlmuth in Kitzeck im Sausal, which is in Southern Styria and in a very special part of it." In winemaking, that kind of exactness matters. The vineyard is not a backdrop but the working subject, and at Weingut Wohlmuth the landscape is handled as something to be named, mapped, and read closely.
