Hagenbüchl Fritz

The winery is located in the municipality of Hohenwarth in the Lower Austrian wine growing region Weinviertel. It has been managed by Fritz and Daniela Hagenbüchl since 2003. The vineyards include the Hochstrass, Laaer Berg, Neubirg and Rindersberg vineyards. They are planted with the white wine varieties Grüner Veltliner, Roter Veltliner, Frühroter Veltliner, Müller-Thurgau and Chardonnay, as well as the red wine varieties Zweigelt, Blauburger and Blauer Portugieser. We consistently practice natural, environmentally friendly viticulture. Quality criteria are targeted foliage work, thinning out for yield reduction and the "100 berry test" to determine the ideal harvest time. The grapes are carefully processed separately according to variety and vineyard. The white wines are fermented chilled to preserve the bouquet of the grapes. The blue grapes are vinified to fruity red wines after the traditional mash fermentation. Among the premium wines are for example Weinviertel DAC Laaer Berg (Grüner Veltliner), Roter Veltliner Laaer Berg and the red wine cuvée "Pathos" (Zweigelt, Blauburger). Grape juice, sparkling wine and red wine liqueur are also produced. The winery is a member of the winegrowers' association Weingüter Weinviertel.
