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 Steinberg Gruner Veltliner 2023

This steep southeast facing site consists of slate and granite. Its wines are crisp with
mineral tones and vivid fruit.

Deepness and complexity in the nose: freshly peeled Topaz apple, white pepper, fresh
almonds. Amazingly juicy and spicy on the palate; great fruit, supported by a present
acidity structure. An exemplary mid-bodied Veltliner!
