Roter Veltliner Reserve, Weingut Weixelbaum, Strass, Kamptal
Heinz and Gabi produce mostly typical fruity and peppery Grüner Veltliners - Austria’s signature white grape variety, which accounts alone for 1/3 of the vineyard area in Austria – and exceptional Rieslings at their 22 hectar organic (nc) vinery in Straβ in the beautiful Kamptal, a bit of a hidden gem in the Northeast of Vienna. We are great fans of Weixelbaum’s typical grape varietal wines and have been importing them for nearly 20 years.
Not directly related to the famous Grüner Veltliner, there are only 195 hectares planted of this rare variety in Austria. It produces full bodied wines with hints of honey and tropical fruit. The grapes of Weixelbaum’s Roter Veltliner Reserve are hand selected and picked, fermented in stainless steel and aged for 20 months in large oak. It is complex and creamy from ageing, flavours of passion fruit and with well balanced residual sugar and acidity.
ABV: 12%
About Weixelbaum
The Weixelbaum family has been making wine in Strass im Strassertal, Kamptal, for three generations — 30 hectares of vineyards and 130,000 vines, with a focus on whites complemented by a small selection of reds. Their oldest bottles in the family wine library date back to 1967, including Grüner Veltliners from 1983 and 1986 made by Heinz Weixelbaum's father Heinrich.
They farm holistically and organically. Chamomile, mustard, fennel, phacelia and clover are sown each year to feed bees and other insects, and "Weixelbaum Insect Hotel Group" shelters sit in every vineyard. Manual labour in the vines and meticulous, gravity-driven processing in the cellar — grapes free-falling into barrel for settling — are central to how the wine is made. Wood, the right barrel, and time: these are the cellar's most important tools.
Looking forward, the next generation is already in the conversation: children Theresa and Pauli sit on the family council, discussing which grape varieties to plant. Loyal customers stretch from Vienna to Los Angeles, drawn by hospitality, good humour, and a down-to-earth love of wine.
