NATURAL WINES BY PROJEKT WILDTYP
Projekt Wildtyp is Boris Kovacic's winery in St. Margarethen in Burgenland. Boris spent 18 years in stem cell and cancer research before making his first vintage in 2021. His vines grow on very different soils, from schist and quartz to limestone and clay, and he sticks mainly to regional grapes: Grüner Veltliner, Blaufränkisch, Neuburger, Müller-Thurgau and Zweigelt, plus one field blend of ten varieties.
His rule is nothing added and nothing taken away. He uses wild yeasts, skin contact from two days to three weeks and ageing in steel and used barrels, with no added sulphur at all since the 2023 vintage. The names are as playful as the wines. Lumpazi and the pét-nat Sprudla are skin-contact Müller-Thurgau, Schlawina is Neuburger from 45-year-old vines on schist, and Krawallo is Grüner Veltliner from schist. Gramuri is Blaufränkisch from limestone, and Heppi Peppi is Zweigelt with some whole bunches.
