Christian Fischer is one of the most successful red wine pioneers in the Thermenregion. He began early on to exploit the undoubted ageing potential of Sooß by including internationally recognised red wine varieties such as Pinot Noir, Cabernet and Merlot. The results are full-bodied, multi-layered red wines that are characterised by a harmonious tannin structure and finely savoury fruit.
The Fischer winery, which today has 85 percent of its approximately 17 hectares of vineyards planted with red varieties, demonstrates the ageing potential of the gentle slopes of this tranquil wine village with their warm, loamy-toned soils. The winery has also been certified organic since 2013. "At some point there comes a moment when you want to give something back to nature," says Christian Fischer, describing why he converted his wine production to "organic."
The Fischer winery is particularly a guarantor of first-class red wines: the Zweigelt Gradenthal, the Point Noir aged in barrique, and the wines of the "100 cases" line are consistently among the best red wines in Austria and have already won a multitude of awards.
