Wagram

Styles

Principal grape varieties

Terroir

• North of the Danube, the Wagram proper extends as a broad escarpment with deep loess soils, on which full-bodied, spicy wines are grown.
• In the area around Klosterneuburg, north-west of Vienna, the soils are more calcareous and yield fruity, racy wines.
• The climate is shaped by the influence of the Danube and the proximity to the Pannonian plain, with relatively cool nights that favour aroma development.

• In the Wagram wine region, approximately 75% of production is white wine, with Grüner Veltliner as the leading white variety and Zweigelt as the leading red variety.
• Frühroter Veltliner is a variety considered typical of this region.
• The predominantly family-run winery structure ensures that the traditional style of winemaking is passed down across generations.

• The wines of the Wagram wine region can be described sensorially as full-bodied and spicy, with the deep loess layer of the Wagram being ideally suited to producing powerful, spicy Grüner Veltliner.
