Martiniloben 2013

There are only a few days left until the Golser Martiniloben, our day of open wine cellars. The most important thing, our wines, are of course always ready for tasting but there is still a lot to prepare. As every year there is much to see and to experience at Martiniloben and at our cellar everything will revolve arount liquid art.

Young 2013 wines have arrived

A busy month has passed since our last post and lots of new things happened. We have already crushed the last of this year’s reds and thus the 2013 harvest is really over. While the reds are now gently bubbling along with malolactic fermentation, the whites are already further along.

Harvest 2013

Wine Harvest begins

The wine harvest 2013 has started. The growing season is over and it’s time to pick the ripe grapes. We already brought in grapes for grape juice as well as Sämling and Sauvignon Blanc and next week the harvest will continue.

Dornbirn Autumn Fair

Tomorrow it is time again for the Dornbirn Fair Grounds to open their doors for this year’s Autumn Exhibition. Unfortunately we did not get our old and proven location but of course we’re still participating!

After the heat

We had a lot of work during the summer and therefore there were no updates posted on our website for some time. Here comes a quick one, more details will follow in the next few days.

June update

June is almost over and it’s time for a brief look back on this critical month of the wine year. It started out rather cold but with the first warm days the vines started flowering. During great weather the bloom was over in about 10 days and it turned out very well. May had already provided enough humidity for quick vine growth and at 35° C we enjoyed hot summer weather. Currently it is pretty cool again but we also had some rain that came in just right to prevent drought due to the hot weather of recent days.

Spring, Summer or Winter?

Start into the growing season

It is a busy time in our vineyards. Nature is exploding and the vines are growing wildly. The 2013 vintage has now definitely started to develop and we’re looking forward to the coming season.

Weinfrühling Opening Hours

This year’s Weinfrühling (“Wine in the Spring”) event has begun. Cellar doors in Gols are open and invite to a tasting from today until sunday. We’re cellar 56 on the map and are available at for the following hours:

Dornbirn Spring Fair

Tomorrow the Dornbirn Fairgrounds will open their doors again for this year’s Spring Fair. Our booth is number 10 in Hall 11. We have cooled the wines, prepared everything and are now ready for our guests. We’re looking forward to meeting you as well and hope you’ll enjoy a nice time tasting our wines. The fair will last until sunday.

ProWein Build-up

Tomorrow the ProWein starts in Düsseldorf. It is one of the world’s most important wine fairs and we’re participating. Today we set up our boot A25 in the Organic Wines Hall 7.1 (Hall 7, 1st Floor).

Binding the vines

The next vineyard work following winter pruning is binding the vines and that is what we do right now. Binding means to bind stems on to their support rod and also to the attach the one or two vines that are left from pruning flat down on the lowest trellis wire.

Berlin Wine Fair

We made it back well from the Berlin Wine Fair. On our way home we still had to cope with quite a lot of snow but now it’s almost gone and it is gorgeously sunny outside tough a bit cold. Spring is coming, there’s no question about that.

Winter Pruning

A few images from our winter occupation out in the vineyards - pruning the vines. It’s a lot of time and manual work spent during the cold times of a year.

Winter finally got us.

It took quite some time but now it’s here, the winter has arrived. Outside snow is blowing horizontally and we are either shovelling snow or warming up again inside.

Happy New Year!

We hope your New Year’s celebration went as well as ours and you are prepared for a good and eventful 2013. We’re now as always easily reachable again after the holidays and are looking forward to the things to come.
