Rotter Veltliner

Roter Veltliner is one of Austria’s oldest indigenous grape varieties, which, despite its name, is not related to Grüner Veltliner. This late-ripening classic finds ideal conditions on the deep loess soils of the Wagram. Its reddish-coloured grapes yield structured wines that convince with aromas of ripe quince, almonds and fine herbal spice. Their strength lies in a profound phenolics and a remarkable longevity.

In the Wagram, Fritsch vinifies this cultural treasure as a single-varietal wine, with the Steinberg vineyard site in particular revealing the mineral depth of the variety. Loimer in the Kamptal demonstrates that Roter Veltliner also shines in a traditional blend: in a cuvée with Grüner Veltliner and Riesling, it contributes power and structure to a characterful Gemischter Satz.
