JOiSEPH

Luka, Richard and Alex 

Burgenland, Austria

JOiSEPH isn't a classical winery. It’s a “new” winery with traditional standards. It stands for everything that makes wine what it is. Three passionated winemakers that spend a lot of time and love to the vines. Started in January 2015 by Richard Artier, Alex Kagl and Luka Zeichmann. Back then without a cellar, tractor or other machines to start making wine with but they had three scissors and some rubber boots. And vines.

At this moment they have their cellar in the small town of Joïs, with 5,5 hectares of vineyards on limestone and shale soils. It’s at the foot of the Leitha mountain with stunning views of the lake. Which of cours, you can taste back in their wines. They are passionate about producing wines as authentic as possible, they are just the tool. This way they create wines with their own individual character and their own unique expression of the area.

After a few years now, Luka has left Joiseph as a partner to start his own domaine together with his wife, nevertheless, the wines are still impeccable and in the same style as the head winemaker used to make them. Alex and Richard take very good care of the process and release the wines when ready. Hence the older vintages available, all ready to drink. Light and fresh Burgenland wines in the cheaper category ,gastronomic, balanced and elegant in the higher price range. All amazing things to not miss out on.
