The Bauer family focuses on red: although Grüner Veltliner takes up a large part of the vineyard area, the typical regional grape variety of the Wagram - Roter Veltliner - has always been refined here with its own selections and thus as a court line since grandfather's time.
Großriedenthal lies on the upper ridge of the Wagram, where gravel and sandy soils are important alongside the mighty loess formations on the plateaus. The Burgundy varieties were planted on a calcareous loess soil, and Riesling thrives on sandy, gravelly loess soil alongside Roter Veltliner. The Bauer organic winery pays particular attention to living, healthy soils, nature and climate. Experience with new Piwi varieties such as Donauriesling and Donauveltliner has been gathered in the vineyard and during the pressing process itself. The three different natural wines are also sold successfully - mainly on the US market. The Bauer family's sweet wines in the form of Beerenauslese and Trockenbeerenauslese wines as well as ice wine are definitely worth mentioning.
