Weingut Polz, Family winery in Straß in Steiermark, Austria
Weingut Polz is a family operation cultivating vineyards across about 70 hectares in South Styria, producing white, red, and sparkling wines from regional grape varieties. The production ranges from classical to modern wine styles, all processed in contemporary cellars.
The estate has been managed by the Polz family for more than 100 years, continuously passing down knowledge of winemaking and vineyard management through generations. This long continuity allowed the family to develop deep roots in South Styria's wine landscape.
The winery operates a Buschenschank, a traditional Austrian wine tavern where visitors enjoy regional products and local specialties alongside wine tastings during summer months. This rustic approach connects tasting directly to local food culture.
Visitors can arrange guided cellar tours, participate in wine tastings, and purchase bottles directly from the property or online. The best time to visit is during summer months when the tavern is open and the estate offers its full experience.
The estate manages specific vineyard sites like Hochgrassnitzberg and Theresienhöhe, where different soil compositions create wines with distinct mineral qualities. This geographic diversity within the property allows the producer to combine several terroirs within a single operation.
