Gattinger

Wachau Riesling and Grüner Veltliner from Austria's steepest terraces.

Gattinger produces wines from Austria's Wachau, a steep-terraced region in Niederösterreich known for mineral-driven white wines. The winery focuses on two signature varieties: Riesling and Grüner Veltliner, both grown in the demanding vineyard landscape that defines the valley. The Riesling Smaragd and Grüner Veltliner Smaragd represent the winery's top expressions, classified under Wachau's prestigious Smaragd designation for fully ripe, complex wines. A Riesling Federspiel Terrassen rounds out the portfolio, offering a lighter interpretation from the same terroir. Wine Advocate, Falstaff, and Decanter have all assessed Gattinger's releases. The winery's work reflects the Wachau's character: high acidity, stone fruit, and the mineral imprint of the Danube valley's schist and granite soils.
