While Grüner Veltliner thrives in the loess-dominated sites of the Wachau, Riesling prefers poorer soil. Situated close to the Danube itself on a gentle 29% incline, Rossatz’s Steiger vineyard is rich with paragneiss and littered with crushed stones, and Fischer works a parcel of 25-year-old Riesling here. The tensile, saline Riesling Federspiel, typically measuring 12% alcohol with 3-1/2 grams per liter of residual sugar, counterposes smoky, clinging minerality with torpor-conquering acidity to create an irresistible sense of tension. Harvested in late September, it was fermented spontaneously and aged the better part of a year on its fine lees in stainless steel with minimal sulfur additions.

Description

Grüner Veltliner and Riesling, the way we like to drink them ourselves. That’s exactly what we want to do: Katja and Joe Fischer. Welcome to our winery in the Wachau. On the right bank of the Danube. The particularly exciting one, we say.
We work organically and are currently switching to biodynamics. Because we want to be careful with the place that shapes our wines: the Kirnberg, Kreuzberg, Frauenweingärten and Mugler locations in Rossatz andtreibsdorf. Riedes that are characterized by the coolness of the Dunkelsteinerwald and the balancing moment of the Danube.
We intervene as little as possible in the cellar. Our wines ferment spontaneously, some mature in large or small 500 liter barrels, and clarify themselves over time – unfiltered. This way they can show their origins particularly well. We love drinking them just as much.
