i. Biography
In Tainach, Carinthia, the work starts in the rows: hand-pruning, hand foliage work, and harvest carried in by hand, one load at a time. At Domäne Lilienberg, Mirjam Orasch has shaped a South Austrian winery and winegrowing project into a sustainable organic farm, keeping nature, agriculture, and plant protection in active balance. The style that follows is built on patience, observation, and field discipline rather than speed.
The Path
Co-ownership and winemaking at Domäne Lilienberg place Mirjam Orasch in both vineyard and cellar, where every decision has to hold over time. The role is a study in precision: reading the vines, managing the cellar, and maintaining a consistent direction for the estate. The path here has been measured in repeated acts of cultivation, observation, and trust in the rhythms of the property.
The Work Today
Today, Mirjam Orasch serves as co-owner and winemaker at Domäne Lilienberg in Tainach, Carinthia, Austria. The work moves between vineyard and cellar, with each side informing the other. In the vines, hand-pruning, foliage work, and harvest carried in by hand keep the estate close to the season and the land. The farm operates sustainably and organically, with nature, agriculture, and plant protection kept in balance rather than treated as separate priorities. In the cellar, the wines rest above average in steel tanks or oak barrels, an élevage that aims to preserve energy and lift. The result is a style shaped by restraint in maturation and continuity in the field.
Signature
Mirjam's signature dishes include Flamingo Kiss and Schampusseria. The names suggest a lighter, more playful register, set against the discipline of vineyard and cellar work at Domäne Lilienberg. They sit within the same made-by-hand world, where detail matters in both naming and execution.
Acclaim
In 2010, Mirjam Orasch founded Domäne Lilienberg and began building the winery as a South Austrian winegrowing project. That founding date anchors the rest of the work: the farming, the cellar decisions, and the sustained attention to the land in Carinthia. The recognition attached to her career comes from that continued hands-on practice, season after season, with the same steady focus on what the estate yields.
