Paul Achs<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Considered one of the premier winemakers in Austria and a master of Blaufr\u00e4nkisch, Paul Achs cut his teeth in California, as well as a few other places, before joining the family winery in Gols as winemaker in 1991. He transformed the winery from primarily white wine to red wine production in the 1990s and has been instrumental in forming a number of grower associations to raise the profile of the region\u2019s wines. Paul was previously named \u201cVintner of the Year\u201d by Falstaff<\/span>2<\/sup><\/a><\/span> Using biodynamic viticultural practices, his wines showcase the elegance and beauty of the reds from the region. In addition to the predominant 90% red wine production, Paul produces a small amount of Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. He is without a doubt a master of his winemaking craft, but lets nature and the vineyard take the lead and sees himself more as lending expression to what he is given.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
