Johann Gisperg Jr

The Path

At Burgundermacher Weingut Johann Gisperg in Teesdorf, Austria, the winemaking is anchored in the Thermenregion and in the value of local difference. Johann Gisperg Jr works within a frame that treats regional individuality, a broad mix of grape varieties, and autochthone grapes as part of the job, not as decoration.

The Work Today

Peer networks are part of the cellar brief here, and Johann Gisperg Jr says it plainly: "The networking of young winemakers is a real priority for me." The same logic shapes the region’s pitch, where individuality and variety are presented as working strengths rather than marketing language: "Individuality and the diverse range of grape varieties are the strengths of the Thermenregion." From there, the direction of travel is also explicit: "And he wants to break more ground with the autochthone grape varieties."
