Description
Fritsch family has been the driving force for quality in the Wagram region for decades, always believing in the potential of Grüner Veltliner as a high-class variety along with Riesling, Zweigelt and Pinot Noir. Fritsch respects the terroir of the Wagram on his 20 hectares of vines through biodynamic cultivation and is one of the members of a select group of biodynamic growers in the “respekt-BIODYN” association.
Yellow fruit with a delicate tobacco underlay, a hint of green apple, hints of ripe tropical fruit, fine lemon zest. Elegant juicy stone fruit note, creamy texture, carried by a fresh structure, mineral, fine meadow herbs in the aftertaste. Spicy and animated to drink.

About Austrian Wine
Austria is a country with over 4000 years of wine making history, however, it unfortunately doesn’t seem to enjoy the status and popularity that the high quality of it’s wines deserve. Decades later, the country is still feeling the effects of a scandal in 1985 that destroyed its credibility at the time.
Grüner Veltliner is the most important wine made in Austria, distinguished by its lightly fruity, noticeable spice and characteristic white pepper notes. This variety comprises roughly a third of all plantings. In terms of volume, Riesling plays a much smaller role than in Germany, but is responsible for some of the most appreciated dry white wines made in the country.
In red varietals, Austrian native varieties are dominant and include the tart and peppery Zweigelt, spicy and dense Blaufränkisch and juicy Saint Laurent.
