Katharina Tinnacher

Coming Up

Since 2013, Katharina Tinnacher has served as both manager and winemaker of Weingut Lackner-Tinnacher, a dual role that places the estate’s daily operations and its finished wines under the same hand. In Gamlitz, Austria, that means balancing oversight with hands-on craft, and keeping the work aligned from one stage to the next. The position demands precision and patience, and Tinnacher has made that combination part of the estate’s working rhythm.

Where They Are Now

Since 2013, Tinnacher has held the dual role of manager and winemaker in Gamlitz. The scope of that work runs from the vineyard to the finished bottle, with the estate’s overall shape and its day-to-day craft held together by the same judgment. At Weingut Lackner-Tinnacher, that kind of continuity gives the wines a clear line of thought: practical, controlled, and built from a close reading of the place.

Signature

Katharina's signature wines include Sauvignon Blow, 2022 Steinbach, and Proxies. Each marks a different expression within Weingut Lackner-Tinnacher’s range, with style and intent carrying through the estate’s approach to place and fruit. Proxies, in particular, sits as a separate line of inquiry while still remaining tied to grapes and to the same house language.

In Their Words “Our Proxies are alcohol-free, not fermented, and made from grapes.” “Only the best grapes from our own gardens make our wine.” Taken together, these lines point to a method built on selection and discipline. The emphasis stays on the material itself: grapes from the estate, chosen carefully, and handled with enough restraint to let the work stay legible in the glass.
