Norbert Walter was born in Tyrol and grew up on a farm in Galtür. Later, he was repeatedly drawn to various alpine pastures in Italian-speaking Switzerland and Tyrol, where he pursued cheese production for a total of eight summers. Since 1989 he has lived and worked in Vienna. Even here he has not lost his connection to agriculture.
Vienna as a big city with its own garden, wine, fruit and arable farming fascinated him from the beginning. Thus, the desire soon grew in him to pursue an agricultural activity in Vienna as well and this dream was to gradually come true.
In 2004, Norbert Walter began to lease vineyards on the Nussberg, in Sievering and in Oberlaa, and within a year he was able to vinify his "Erstling", a Viennese Riesling, with great pleasure. The wine has been steadily growing an audience ever since.
His "www" (Weingut Walter Wien) today includes not only Riesling but also Grüner Veltliner, Gemischter Satz, Chardonnay, Zweigelt and even Blaufränkisch.
The quality of his wines is particularly close to Norbert Walter's heart: natural viticulture, careful tending of the vines and extreme care during harvesting are the prerequisites for excellent wines. The winery has been certified organic since 2015.
In 2008 Norbert Walter found an idyllic vineyard with wine cellar on the Bisamberg. With a lot of commitment and attention to detail, he was able to create here, in the midst of the vineyards, a quiet place of comfort for his guests.
