Blick auf die Wagramer Weingärten

Spring Awakening on Wagram

For a whole weekend, the winegrowers in Wagram celebrate their "Spring Awakening" from may 5th to 7th.
As mentioned earlier, this wine region has a special geological feature: 20-meter-high deposits of loess. Natural cellars were dug in this soil in earlier times and it is ideal for Grüner Veltliner in particular.
