The Figl family business has been cultivating vineyards in the lower Traisen valley since 1960. The vineyards are located around Wagram ob der Traisen and grow on loess soils, with conglomerate forming the parent rock. Klosterneuburg graduate Leopold Figl was cellar master at Weingut Stadt Krems from 2001 to 2013 and then took over his parents' smart winery, whereupon the focus was placed on the Grüner Veltliner and Riesling varieties typical of the region.
Leopold Figl is known for fruity, but also savoury wines with a well-balanced acidity that are wonderful to drink. A specially vinified "Blanc de Blancs" sparkling wine made from Chardonnay grapes according to the traditional method crowns his range. The estate's top vineyards are Setzen, Sonnleithen and Rosengarten. The targeted planning of a modern wine cellar has created the perfect conditions for gentle and clean processing of the grapes. The special care of the vineyards and the determination of the optimal harvest time are essential components of the production of high-quality wines.
