After graduating viticulture school and gathering practical experience in New Zealand and Germany, he returned home and at just 28 took over the family winery in 2011. Today he farms 24 hectares of vines — roughly 30% white, 70% red — across some of the region's most distinguished sites: Gabarinza, Ungerberg, Altenberg, Heideboden and others. Northern Burgenland's \"Land of the Sun\" gives the grapes the long, sunny ripening Markus needs to bring out their individual character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 14px 0;font-size:0.95em;line-height:1.7;color:#4a4a4a\"\u003eHis philosophy is direct: wine is a natural product and wants to be treated as such. He works with gut feeling, intuition and inspiration, drawing on the diversity of his vineyards — lime, gravel, clay and sand soils, Pannonian and continental climatic influences, surprisingly little rainfall — to make wines that reflect both site and season. Every vintage is a new challenge. Awards and the quiet loyalty of wine drinkers across Europe confirm he has the hand for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:18px 0 0 0;font-size:0.78em;letter-spacing:0.12em;text-transform:uppercase;color:#888\"\u003eNeusiedlersee, Burgenland · Gols · Land of the Sun · Red Wine Focus\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"KIPFERL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55524520591736,"sku":"WR_MI_SL","price":22.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0539\/7168\/1473\/files\/St.LaurentTradition.jpg?v=1775830833","url":"https:\/\/kipferl.co.uk\/products\/st-laurent-tradition-markus-iro-austrian-red-wine","provider":"KIPFERL","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
