The soil and the art of winemaking
In Wagram, where gentle loess hills rise above the former shores of the primordial sea, wine has deep roots in the truest sense of the word. The mighty loess not only shapes the landscape here, but also the character of the wines: finely spiced, powerful and with that unmistakable creaminess that is immediately associated with Wagram.
Around Kirchberg am Wagram, the heart of the region, vines thrive on around 2,450 hectares, flourishing thanks to the mineral-rich soil and the Pannonian continental climate. Grüne Veltliner and Roter Veltliner are the flagship varieties, complemented by elegant Rieslings, Pinot Blancs and increasingly exciting red wines. Roter Veltliner, an indigenous variety with a long history, is experiencing a renaissance here: aromatic, complex and yet surprisingly light-footed.
Nature cannot be forced into a mould.
The winegrowers in Wagram see themselves as guardians of this terroir – many of them are committed to organic farming. This is the case at Brigit and Fritz Salomon's Oberstockstall estate, which is one of the pioneers of biodynamic viticulture.
