What Wagram produces
White
Grüner Veltliner is the flagship — riper and more textural than Wachau, with white pepper and stone fruit. Roter Veltliner is a rare local specialty.
Red
Small amounts of Zweigelt and Pinot Noir, often from gravel-rich plots near the Danube.

Climate
Pannonian-influenced continental: warm, dry summers and cold winters. The Danube moderates temperature swings; eastern winds from the Pannonian plain push up sugar levels and ripeness, especially on the lower terraces.
Terroir
Deep loess (windblown loam) covering ancient gravel and crystalline bedrock, with primary rock visible on the steepest slopes near Klosterneuburg. The thick loess holds water through summer, fueling the ripe Grüner Veltliner style.
