In 2003, Gerald Waltner, who made the leap to the top of the Wagramer Winzer in a short time, took over the responsibility of his parents' winery in Engelmannsbrunn. With the help of his family, he now manages over eleven hectares of the best vineyards in Engelmannsbrunn and Gösing. Because of his connection with nature, he strives to maintain and promote sustainability and environmental protection, and describes himself as down-to-earth and close to nature, yet with a modern style. "I am fascinated by giving wine my own language - my language of fragrance, my language of palate, my signature. I want to combine technique and experience to create the product that reflects my character. I use the freshness and freedom of my thoughts as motivation for wine creations that challenge," says Gerald Waltner. His greatest attention is paid to Grüner Veltliner, which probably finds the best conditions on the Wagram with its unique terroir.
Numerous awards, such as "SALON" winner, state winner, "Vineus Newcomer Award", and inclusion in various wine guides in recent years confirm the work of the winemaker and testify to the quality of his wines. The very high export share of Waltner wines is also striking. In addition to sales in Austria, over 65 percent of production is already exported to Germany, Belgium, Ireland, Italy, Switzerland and the Netherlands.
