The best wines from Wagram in Austria

The Austrian wine region Wagram is a fairly large wine region - by Austrian standards - with almost 2,500 hectares of vineyards. There are two distinct parts: a small strip of land immediately south of the Danube and a much larger part north of the river. Mainly white wines are made in Wagram.

Several wine growers from Wagram have started working organically in recent years. They have proven successful in this. It contributes to the quality image that Wagram has always had. Wine tourism is further stimulated by this. More and more winegrowers are joining the environmentally conscious approach of their colleagues.

It may sound strange, but soil research has shown that Wagram was once the coast of a prehistoric ocean. A thick layer of loess has formed over it. And this is where the winegrowers from Wagram plant their vines. It makes the Grüner Veltliners spicy and spicy. The Roter Veltliner is also doing well in Wagram, as is the Riesling. And don't think that only nice white wines are made. A fruity Zweigelt or velvety Pinot Noir from Wagram is not to be missed.

Klosterneuburg

The wine icon of Wagram is the Klosterneuburg. This impressive building has played a crucial role in Austrian wine culture. It was the world's first college of viticulture in 1860. Famous Austrian grapes such as Zweigelt and Blauburger are grown here.

To this day, this monumental wine institute is leading. Many Austrian winegrowers have been and are being trained at a top international level. Moreover, it is one of the largest wine producers in the country. Many winegrowers from nearby Vienna bring their grapes there to have Austrian sparkling wine made.
