Wabi-sabi is a wine project by Franz Hofstätter . Franz has been involved with wine for over two decades , working with numerous renowned winemakers in Austria , helping them in their commercial , communication and marketing efforts under the Tastes of Austria (TOA) company . Way beyond sales and marketing , Franz loves wine , loves his terroir of Wachau and loves nature . Wabi-sabi , his personal wine project , is all about that . We immediately loved the wines we tasted from him . Vibrant and alive , but also extremely well made , clean and balanced . Wines from someone who knows and loves wine , no doubt , and this for long enough that it’s clearly not a project of trends or romantic
