“Innovation, stubbornness and a bit of madness” is winemaker Michael Martin’s credo when making his wonderful wines. The “Zum Martin Sepp” line is named after the famous wine tavern located in Vienna's Grinzig district which has been owned and operated by the Martin family for generations, and today, by Michael and his wife, Freya. His family has been making wine in nearby Weinvirtel for over a century, yet until recently, the region supplied wine almost exclusively for the Viennese market, with little or none exported to other countries or even other parts of Austria. Michael Martin is one of the most dedicated winemakers you’ll find and his passion for his homeland grapes is boundless. He turns that passion into some of the freshest and tastiest Grüner and Zweigelt around. Following organic practices, Michael and his team manually harvest and sort before they are fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks.
