In 2003, Gerald Waltner, who quickly made the leap to the top of the Wagram winegrowers, took over responsibility at his parents' winery in Engelmannsbrunn. With the help of his family, he now cultivates over eleven hectares of the best vineyards in Engelmannsbrunn and Gösing. Due to his connection with nature, he strives to cultivate and promote sustainability and environmental protection and describes himself as down-to-earth and close to nature, but still with a modern style. "I am fascinated by giving wine my own language - my language of fragrance, my language of the palate, my signature. I want to combine technique and experience to create a 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 main focus is on Grüner Veltliner, which finds the best conditions on the Wagram with its unique terroir.
Numerous awards, such as "SALON" winner, regional winner, "Vineus Newcomer Award" and inclusion in various wine guides in recent years confirm the winemaker's work 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.
