The Bauer family focuses on red, although Grüner Veltliner makes up a large portion of the vineyards, even in their grandfather's time, the Wagram's signature grape variety – Roter Veltliner – was continually refined with their own selections, thus becoming the estate's own clones.
Großriedenthal lies on the upper ridge of the Wagram, where, in addition to the massive loess formations on the plateaus, gravel and sandy soils are also important. Thus, the Burgundy varieties were planted on calcareous loess soil, and on the sandy-gravelly loess soil, Roter Veltliner and Riesling thrive. The Bauer organic winery places particular emphasis on vibrant, healthy soils, nature, and climate. Experience has been gained in the vineyards and during the winemaking process with new Piwi varieties such as Donauriesling and Donauveltliner. The three different natural wines are also sold successfully – primarily on the US market. In any case, the Bauer family’s sweet wines in the form of Beerenauslese and Trockenbeerenauslese as well as Eiswein are worth mentioning.
