Familie Frei
Familie Frei works the Kamptal, a cool corner of Niederösterreich where mineral-driven whites thrive. The winery's portfolio centers on two Austrian classics: Riesling and Grüner Veltliner. The Riesling Freiherr, their flagship, carries the region's signature tension between ripeness and acidity. The Zöbinger Steinjuwel Grüner Veltliner—named for a vineyard site known for stone-rich soils—expresses the variety's peppery, herbal character with precision. A second Grüner Veltliner rounds out the core range, offering a more approachable entry to the style. Falstaff has rated these wines, recognizing their quality. The Kamptal's continental climate and limestone-based terroir favor the crisp, food-friendly profiles Familie Frei pursues.
