The Diwald story begins with Hans and Paula Diwald, who began their wine adventure in Großriedenthal around 1970. In 1980, they converted the family farm's small vineyard to organic production. Local residents were quite skeptical of these plans. But over the years, the wines steadily improved, and contacts with other organic winegrowers intensified. Agriculture with arable and livestock farming no longer exists. The original 4-hectare vineyard has grown to 18 hectares, and their son, Martin, has been the operator since 2010. Since 2013, he has been producing in the new cellar, which is equipped with 26 stainless steel tanks, 4 red wine fermentation racks, 11 large wooden barrels, and the latest technology. He combines the old with the new and vinifies the grapes as traditionally and unadulterated as possible. This results in authentic wines shaped by the loess and microclimate of the Wagram, a mountain range in Lower Austria. Grüner Veltliner, Riesling, Frühroter Veltliner, Zweigelt, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir are pressed.
Selected grapes from various vineyards form the basis for Grüner Veltliner. Spontaneously fermented in stainless steel tanks and stored on the fine lees until spring, the goal here is to represent Grüner Veltliner in its classic, fresh, and bold form. Grüner Veltliner as it lives and breathes. Fresh and fruity with lively acidity, a stimulating wine with good presence and a certain simplicity. A perfect companion for light dishes or simply on its own.
