Wagram<br />

liner and Riesling. The remaining third of the<br />

vineyard area is dedicated to the production of<br />

red wine. The Wagram offers exceptional conditions<br />

for Grüner Veltliner due to the superb<br />

symbiosis of climate and soil. When seeking the<br />

core competency of this estate, one should examine<br />

its examples of this variety. Grüner Veltliner<br />

is produced as a light summer wine as well<br />

as in the form of sublime single-vineyard wines<br />

such as the “Ried Steinberg” and “Ried Schlossberg”.<br />

Among the red wines, the juicy Pinot<br />

Noir possesses an excellent reputation and the<br />

“Foggathal” blend counts among the best and<br />

most renowned red wines of Austria. Karl<br />

Fritsch is manager of the estate as well as the<br />

winemaker. He enjoys a very good reputation<br />

among his colleagues due to his innovative spirit<br />

and ability to implement a strategy. His sensitive<br />

hand makes it possible to create a versatile<br />

assortment of wines from the endless possibilities<br />

provided by nature. This is confirmed not<br />

only by the growing number of customers, but<br />

also the numerous accolades for his wines. Karl<br />

Fritsch places priority on the preservation of<br />

nature and its resources with the conversion to<br />

biodynamic viticulture in January of 2006. He<br />

sees it not as a duty, but as a privilege to work<br />

with nature. Karl Fritsch was accepted into the<br />

prestigious vintners’ association “Österreichische<br />

Traditionsweingüter” in 2007, which further<br />

highlights the importance of his role as a<br />

leader in the Wagram wine region.<br />
