Norbert Walter was born in Tyrol and grew up on a farm in Galtür. Later, he was repeatedly drawn to various mountain pastures in Italian-speaking Switzerland and Tyrol, where he spent a total of eight summers making cheese. He has lived and worked in Vienna since 1989. Even here he has not lost his connection to agriculture. Vienna as a big city with its own gardens, vineyards, orchards and fields fascinated him from the very beginning. He soon developed the desire to pursue an agricultural activity in Vienna as well, and this dream gradually came true.
In 2004, Norbert Walter began to lease vineyards on the Nussberg, in Sievering and in Oberlaa, and just one year later he was delighted to present his "first wine", a Viennese Riesling. The range of varieties has been growing ever since: His "www" (Weingut Walter Wien) now includes not only Riesling but also Grüner Veltliner, Gemischter Satz, Chardonnay, Zweigelt and even Blaufränkisch. The quality of his wines is particularly important to Norbert Walter: natural viticulture, careful cultivation of the vines and the utmost care during the harvest are the prerequisites for excellent wines. The winery has been certified organic since 2015. In 2008, Norbert Walter found an idyllic vineyard with a wine cellar on the Bisamberg. With a great deal of dedication and attention to detail, he was able to create a peaceful place of comfort for his guests in the middle of the vineyards.
