Vines, Castles and Baroque The Wagram area has had a cultural landscape for more than 2000 years. This includes imposing baroque buildings, as well as castles and palaces. Examples of this can be found in Thürnthal, Stetteldorf, Oberstockstall or Grafenegg. A son of of the Wagram region is Ignaz Pleyel, the composer of the French national anthem ``The Marseillaise´´. Walking through the landscape of the Wagram, one sees narrow lanes of wine cellars with picturesque inns featuring fine wines and friendly hospitality.

The Wagram is a series of hills which, on its southern slopes, has thousands of terraces. The soil on these terraces is sandy and loamy, ideal for our fine wines. This mineral-rich soil contains valuable fertile elements which is ideal for giving the wines their unmistakable character. The climate is also ideal: cool conditions come from the Waldviertel region in the north, mild conditions come from the Danube valley to the south, and warm Pannonian winds come from the east.
