Gump Hof - Markus Prackwieser
Info:
Down-to-earth and cosmopolitan: Markus Prackwieser proves that you can be both. Although he runs the Gump Hof winery in Fiè allo Sciliar, which is almost half a millennium old, with great respect for tradition, he also draws his inspiration from outside the region: from the Wachau, Burgundy and the Loire Valley. "These are model regions," says Prackwieser. He has been responsible for the Gump Hof winery in Völs since 2000, and since then he has sought dialogue with fellow winemakers.
The winemaker is no stranger to new paths, just as he has deep roots in history. After all, the Gump Hof dates back to the 16th century. "This characterises the farm and is reflected in the respectful treatment of the environment, the cultivation of typical grape varieties, traditional cultivation methods and painstaking manual work," says Prackwieser. The winegrower can rely on vineyards that are up to 70 per cent steep at an altitude of 400 to 850 metres, where Pinot Blanc and Pinot Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, Gewürztraminer and Vernatsch grow.
The wines of the Gump Hof winery in Völs combine a down-to-earth attitude with a cosmopolitan outlook. Or as Markus Prackwieser says: "The knowledge we have acquired, our own experience, time and patience and the refinement of our own flavour profile mean that the character of the landscape is reflected in our wines. And that of the winemaker."
