Karl Fritsch
Our Nature. Our Soil. Our Creativity.
The Weinberghof of the Fritsch family has been the driving force for quality in the Wagram region for decades. Karl’s father always believed in the potential of Grüner Veltliner as a high-class variety and launched the first initiative for a classification of “wines of quality” in 1989 while simultaneously making Fritsch the epitome of wine from the Wagram.
Fritsch senior was also a forerunner when it comes to showcasing international grape varieties. Both father and son have always seen the Wagram as a versatile region which allows for a wide range of wines to yield great results. However, the most significant varieties are clearly Grüner Veltliner (which accounts for one third of all area under vines), along with Riesling and Zweigelt. Pinot Noir is also one of Karl’s darlings, proving on a yearly basis what this “diva” is capable of when treated with respect. Speaking of: Karl Fritsch respects the terroir of the Wagram on his 20 hectares through biodynamic cultivation and is one of the members of a select group of biodynamic growers in the “respekt-BIODYN” association.
This respect for nature and man, transparency, creativity and open mindedness have led to a unique style. The Fritsch wines are straightforward, crisp and elegant with a down to earth character which reflects not only the terroir of the Wagram, but also the personality of their creator. This applies to the fruit-driven, classic, medium-bodied regional blends of the Wagram range as well as the mineral, complex single-vineyard wines such as Mordthal, Steinberg and Schlossberg, Pinot Noir “P” or Foggathal.
