Frauwallner
Frauwallner operates in Südoststeiermark, the southeastern corner of Styria's wine region, where continental influences and Alpine proximity shape distinctive white wines. The winery's portfolio centers on varieties suited to this terroir: Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Scheurebe, an Alsatian-German hybrid prized for its aromatic intensity and botrytis potential. The Straden Samling 88 Trockenbeerenauslese, made from Scheurebe, represents the winery's work with noble rot—a dessert wine of concentrated character. The Ried Buch Morillon, their Chardonnay expression, and the Privat Sauvignon Blanc anchor a range that reflects Südoststeiermark's cool-climate precision. Both Wine Advocate and Falstaff have rated these wines, recognizing their structure and depth. Styrian whites are known for their mineral backbone and aromatic clarity, qualities evident in Frauwallner's approach to these classic varieties.
