i. Biography
Coming Up
Since 2019, Simon Kemetner has held the dual role of winemaker and head of Bio-Weingut Kemetner in Etsdorf am Kamp, Lower Austria. The post ties cellar work to estate oversight: the daily discipline of making wine sits alongside the wider responsibility of running the operation. In that sense, the title is less a hierarchy than a division of labor, with Kemetner moving between the tactile demands of the cellar and the broader decisions that keep the estate in step. The earlier work of a kellermeister sits behind that role and gives it its shape. Cellar craft in this register depends on close attention, steady judgment, and the ability to read small changes as wine moves from one stage to the next. Kemetner’s career reads as a continuation of that discipline, with hands-on cellar experience forming the base for the added responsibility of leadership.
Where They Are Now
Since 2019, Simon Kemetner has led Bio-Weingut Kemetner as both head and winemaker. At an estate in Etsdorf am Kamp, Lower Austria, that means the work spans more than production alone: cellar decisions, operational oversight, and the long view of the house all sit in the same remit. The estate is not just the setting for the role; it is the working frame that defines it. That continuity matters in the cellar. Kemetner’s earlier kellermeister experience remains part of the same line of work, grounding his present position in the routine, exacting side of winemaking rather than in a break or reinvention. The result is a profile built on progression within the trade: from cellar labor to estate leadership, with both held in the same hand.
