Wine from the Wachau Terroir Tradition
Wine from the Wachau. Terroir. Tradition.
WINE FROM THE WACHAU
. . . means to meet ambitious expectations and to ony be content with the best.
Terroir
. . . is more than a word. It is the harmonious symbiosis between man and nature based on experience and a view into the future.
Tradition
. . . is developed by the unique soil and climate. It is passed down by many generations and is, for us, the challenge and the instruction for the future.
“To be a winemaker means, for me, to honour the legacy as well as the challenge”
Franz-Josef Gritsch
Wines
A question of location. For winemaker FJ Gritsch, his wines are a reflection of the special vineyards, the unique microclimate and the vintner’s personality.
As a complement to the great single-vineyard wines, the youthful kalmuck line represents a contemporary interpretation of Wachau tradition.
