Weingut Thomas Gritsch

Wachau Grüner Veltliner and Riesling from Austria's steepest terraced vineyards.

Weingut Thomas Gritsch sits in the Wachau, Austria's most prestigious white wine region, where steep terraced vineyards along the Danube produce wines of mineral precision and aromatic intensity. The winery focuses on two varieties that define the region: Grüner Veltliner and Riesling, both cultivated at the Smaragd level—the Wachau's highest classification for dry wines of maximum ripeness and complexity. The Grüner Veltliner Smaragd and Ried Setzberg Riesling Smaragd anchor the portfolio, joined by the Spitzer Point Grüner Veltliner. These wines have been assessed by Falstaff and Wine Advocate. Grüner Veltliner from this terroir expresses white pepper, stone fruit, and saline minerality; Riesling brings floral notes and citrus tension. The Wachau's continental climate and ancient schist soils create the conditions for wines of structure and aging potential—expressions of place rather than manipulation.
