Producer's description
Wines Weingut Erich & Walter Polz have long been valued far beyond Austria. Erich and Walter Pauls began managing the winery of their parents Johanna and Reinhold Pauls in the late 1980s. Later, Christoph Pauls, son of Erich Pauls, took over as chief winemaker in the summer of 2011. Thus, the Erich & Walter Polz winery is still a purely family-owned company.
Weingut Polz is located in one of the best places in southern Styria. The geological nature of the soil, hours of sunlight and well-distributed rainfall are ideal conditions for viticulture. But the quality of wine is not only in the good will of nature.
The main thing, according to the winery owners, is the experience gained over decades, stability in strategy and action, as well as an uncompromising quality standard that turns a good harvest into an ideal wine. For many generations, the name Polz means almost manual terroir.
