Wolfgang Aigner was born into the world of wine-making. The son of a winemaker, he took over the family winery in Krems at the age of 21. From the very beginning, Aigner worked consistently to exploit the potential of the excellent sites. After all, it is in the terroir of the Sandgrube and Weinzierlberg sites, that the strength of the winery lies, which today produces some of the most interesting white wines in the Krems region on around 16 hectares.
Most of the vines were planted by Aigner's grandfather 40 years ago. The focus is on the Grüner Veltliner and Riesling varieties. The wines have an unmistakable style: they are full-bodied but not overbearing, feel fresh, and have a distinctive savouriness as well as a bold bouquet. Aigner vinifies his wines for long-term storage. The reserves are still invigoratingly fresh after 20 years, displaying clear fruit and multilayered tertiary aromas.
