Summary

Despite residing at its Rote Torgasse estate in Spitz since 1789, the Lagler family only began making wine in 1970 after years of growing grapes. Today the winery is run by Karl Lagler, Jr., who employs natural farming techniques to manage the family’s 13 ha of steeply terraced vineyards located in top sites in and around Wachau. The family’s holdings are planted to predominantly white grapes The winery produces an array of wines from Gruner Veltliner, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Gelber Muskateller, Neuberg, Weissburgunder, and Zweigelt. All vineyard work is done by hand, including harvest. The winery is a member of Vinea Wachau and boasts a cellar dating back roughly 180 years as its centerpiece.


Style & Vinification Techniques

Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks or large oak casks, depending on the variety.
