Vulkanland Styria
Straden, Austria

Weingut-Frauwallner_Schmuckbild
The winemaker and the wine speak a clear language at the Frauwallner winery: every single grape comes from the volcanic region of Styria (Vulkanland), the vineyards are tended by hand, and each grape variety is vinified in its own unique way. The winery produces exclusively wines of provenance, with the experience and constancy of Walter Frauwallner creating a potpourri of individual characters that have a clear signature and a high regional recognition factor. »Lots of wine in the glass, the terroir clearly recognisable and always a pleasure to drink«, is how the father of two sums up his philosophy, putting it impressively into practice in three separate lines.
 
The wines classically vinified in steel tanks carry the name »Vulkanland Steiermark DAC«. They are easy to consume, but at the same time elegant and multifaceted. The »Stradener Ortsweine« are a new addition to the range – expressive wines between regional wines and single-vineyard wines (Riedenweine). And then there are the wines from the chalky 1STK Ried Stradener Rosenberg, the Ried Steintal and the basalt-rich Ried Altes Steinkreuz, as well as the wines from the heart of the winery: the Grand Cru STK site Ried Buch. These are great and profound wines: a compelling choice for those wishing for a taste of the volcanic landscape of Styria, and authentic ambassadors of their home terroir.
 
The grape varieties that have consolidated the reputation of the family-run winery at home and abroad are particularly Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris, Morillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Traminer. A standing confirmed by the 100 Falstaff points in the Wine Guide 2021/2022 for the Trockenbeerenauslese Gelber Muskateller Ried Stradener Rosenberg 2017.
 
The winery has been a member of the »Steirische Terroir und Klassikweingüter – STK« since 2018. Manual methods of working, careful foliage handling, quantity reduction and selective grape harvesting are obligatory. Wines are developed through patience and time. In a practically-minded cellar, established wines are produced using different approaches to create an exciting overall portfolio. The winery's Karbach farm store is available for tastings.
