Intuition<\/a> – An ability to understand or know something immediately based on your feelings rather than facts.<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t want to think more to get something. I understand that with more thinking I don’t get more out of it.<\/em><\/strong> If I have this sense and this feeling.<\/em><\/strong> And so, I really recognize this since I can make wine intuitively.<\/em><\/strong>” <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

This is Birgit, a female wine maker located in Gottlesbrunn, lower Austria. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A family run business with a long history, “150 years ago there was only one female daughter and she didn’t kept her name so she married to a man and he brought the name Widerstein here but the property is still the same as before,” explains Wiederstein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From age 12 Birgit has been passionate about the Environment. Going on to pursue a degree in economy and ecology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This was for me super important when I was a kid and I was very curious about biology chemistry physics all that stuff and\u00a0environment so environmental protection was again super important for me.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her Role<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Birgit’s role within the winery can be best described as a solo performance , “I’m more or less the female one woman show because I drive the tractor, I make the green work, I’m in the office, I’m in the marketing, I do the sales, and also the cellar work so the cellar is also completely mine it’s also a small cellar so there is no space for other people.”\u00a0she says while laughing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
