Weinbau Altenriederer,
Traismauer, Traisental |
|
|
Erich Altenriederer’s family estate produces wine
from 7.5 hectares of grapes, and also a range of fresh fruit juices
from a further 8 hectares of orchards, mainly for the local market.
The estate is located at Wagram/Traismauer, near Krems, a small village
between the Danube and the Traisen (a tributary of the Danube) which
gives the Traisental its name. This region enjoys a good local micro-climate.
In recent years, Erich has, together with his wife Sibylle and mother
Angela, invested in a new modern cellar, and has planted new vineyards,
which yield better and better quality wine as time passes. They have
planted new varieties for this region, such as Riesling, and selected
the best Grüner Veltliner clones available. Other varieties grown
include Chardonnay, Zweigelt, Blauer Portugieser, Cabernet Sauvignon,
and Blauburger. Erich spends a lot of time on vineyard husbandry, as
he believes quality starts in the vineyard. The family opens its doors
to visitors who wish to sample produce, and the local community help
out at harvest time. To summarise, Altenriederer wines are of good quality
and offer outstanding value for money; particularly with their 1 litre
bottles of Grüner Veltliner & Zweigelt which are ideal for
"by the glass" sales. |
