Roland Tauss

At Weingut Tauss in Schloßberg near Leutschach, Styria, Austria, the work is paced by season, repetition, and the discipline of the vine. Oland Tauss took over the family winery from his parents and, in the years that followed, worked conventionally, making wine. The line of succession is straightforward, but the responsibility behind it is not: a family estate carried forward through daily labor, continuity, and steady attention.

Since 1991, the grower at Weingut Tauss has been Roland Tauss, shaping the estate with consistency over time. The role of grower is plain language for a set of tasks that repeat year after year: reading the vines, tracking weather and fruit, and maintaining the estate without interruption. In that sense, the work is less about display than about keeping a family winery in practiced hands.

Roland Tauss's signature dishes include Welschriesling Vom Opok 2020, Weissburgunder Vom Opok 2020, Welschriesling Extra Brut, Blaufrankisch Brut Rose, and TAUSS SEKT BLANC BRUT NATURE. Taken together, the names map the estate’s range without ornament. The 2020 wines anchor a specific vintage, while the sparkling expressions — Welschriesling Extra Brut, Blaufrankisch Brut Rose, and TAUSS SEKT BLANC BRUT NATURE — show the work associated with Roland Tauss and Weingut Tauss in named form.

The central facts remain the role at Weingut Tauss and the handover from parents to child. Roland Tauss's standing is measured through that continuity: a family winery in Schloßberg near Leutschach, Styria, Austria, kept in operation since 1991 through a working identity tied to the estate itself.
