About the Biokult Brand (http://www.naturalmerchants.com/biokult.htm)
The Biokult Brand is produced by the Michlits family, one of the most creative and influential organic wine growing families in Austria. Their products and their production methods are
revolutionary for the region. Not only have they been able to understand and implement the use of non-trimmed vines in the region, but the use of biodynamic methods and the translation of
these into new production standards are awe inspiring.
The family owned cattle herd of over 50 Angus beef combined with organic/biodynamic wheat production are the most important tools to improve the soils and the vines that grow on them.
Over the last few years the soils have been able to regain their original vigor and diversity.
The Michlits family has understood the use of traditional winegrowing and winemaking techniques and has developed them in a modern ways. Their search for establishing the best conditions
and thus letting nature do its best work for the wines without too much human intervention is very innovative and modern. The family has become a world-renowned producer of high quality
organic wines from Austria.
