At just 22 years of age, Paul Achs took over his parents' business in Gols, Burgenland. He celebrated his first successes early on. Achs, who is particularly fond of Blaufränkisch and Pinot Noir, cultivates his vineyards biodynamically. For him, it is not the volume of the wine that matters, but the balance between the grape variety, the soil and the location. With the support of his son Johannes, he focuses his work in the vineyard and in the cellar on achieving this balance.
The winery cultivates 24 hectares, spread over 40 different plots. Fourteen different vineyards are distinguished as origins across the entire collection. In 2025, Achs reorganised his range, following the example of Burgundy, and left the Pannobile winegrowers' association, which he had co-founded. He produced his classic red wine cuvée, “Pannobile”, for the last time in 2022. From the 2023 vintage onwards, it was replaced by the “Cuvée Gols”.

| 🯅 | The rating of the wine is based on a single taster. The taster is named in the context of the rating. The tasting was either open or blind. In case of a blind tasting, it is explicitly labelled as such. |
| 🯅🯅 | The rating of the wine is based on two tasters. The tasters are named in the context of the rating. The tasting was carried out according to the four-eyes principle, in which both tasters agree on a joint rating. |
| 🯅🯅🯅 | The rating is based on a tasting by our jury and indicates the Mean value calculated by us from the individual ratings of the tasters. Our mean value is based on the median. |
| ⚖ | The wine was evaluated in a blind tasting. We have strict rules for blind tastings. The tasters do not receive any information that would allow them to identify the wines. The tasters are only given access to further information that goes beyond the subject matter if it is absolutely necessary for understanding the wines. |
| 🕓 | We only had limited time to taste the wine - typically during an open tasting event, such as a wine fair. It was therefore not possible to observe the development of the wine in the glass over a longer period of time. The informative value of our rating may therefore be limited under certain circumstances. |
| ⛬ | The wine was tasted as a barrel sample or before an official test number (Amtliche Prüfungsnummer or Staatliche Prüfnummer) was issued. We only accept samples of unfilled wines in exceptional cases, and then only if we can assume sufficient stability in the bottle for a period of at least three months. |
| ▲ | During our tasting, the wine showed conspicuous sensory characteristics. This does not necessarily have to be a wine fault. We categorise the quality and quantity of the abnormality and include it in the rating. Wine faults such as cork taint or an atypical ageing generally lead to a complete rejection. |
| Tastings that refer to the same bottle of a wine are visually summarised by a dotted line. |
