Fritsch

Wagram | Oberstockall

Karl Fritsch farms his Wagram estate biodynamically, believing great wine starts in vibrant, living soils. After taking over in 1999, he implemented biodynamics and co-founded respekt, Austria’s leading biodynamic growers’ group. His wines—mainly Grüner Veltliner, Pinot Noir, and Roter Veltliner—reflect the deep loess and rocky soils of Wagram’s plateau. From sites like Schlossberg and Steinberg, Fritsch crafts expressive, terroir-driven wines with minimal intervention, guided by lunar rhythms and a deep respect for nature.

Fritsch Ried Schlossberg Gruner Veltliner 2022

The vineyards around the former Winkelberg Castle slope southwards and are located
on a plateau behind the edge of the Wagram. Beneath the thick, fertile loess cover lie
cold-period terrace gravels of the Danube and, again beneath them, clayey-silty,
Miocene marine sediments with sand packets that indicate periodic storm events.

Juicy yellow apple, yellow greengage, bisque, fresh almonds, quite spicy in the nose.
Elegant texture, at the same time with a proper pressure on the palate; vey spicy, vivid,
long - apple skin and fresh almonds at the back of the palate. The excellent tannin
structure promises a great aging potential.
