Our home – Fels am Wagram
Fels am Wagram?
The name is justified, it is about durability, vitality and creativity. You have solid ground under your feet in Fels. And you know how to use it. Over 500 hectares of vineyards make Fels, together with Thürnthal, Gösing and Stettenhof, one of the most important wine-growing communities in Lower Austria.
Experiencing wine with all your senses is possible in the seven idyllic cellar lanes. One, the Hammergraben, is dug deep into the loess, it measures seven meters at its deepest point and leads as a wine and nature trail to the Felser Warte.
The Tullnerfeld can be seen from here, as well as the Alpine foothills up to Schneeberg and Ötscher. The place that gives the place its name is – true Wagram. A still life of graceful spaciousness, generously laid out as a mosaic of courtyards, houses and gardens. A sense of life takes place in Fels; in happy harmony with the pleasant balance that makes life on the Wagram a pleasure. Our vineyards are located in the Ried Scheibe, Hammergraben and Mitterweg, as well as in the Dorner and the Lösswand.
Our main variety is also the Grüner Veltliner, but we are moving into the future with wines of the future – the resistant PIWI varieties.
