Walter Wien

Norbert Walter was raised on a farm in the Tyrol, and after taking a job in Vienna in 1989 it gradually dawned on him that his hankering to return to agricultural roots could one day be ideally combined with his new residence and his love of wine. In 2005 he rented his first vineyards, including sites on the prestigious Nussberg and in the neighboring suburb of Sievering, high above the Danube’s Right Bank. He now farms all of his acreage biodynamically. Like most of Vienna’s wine growers, Walter runs a rustic wine tavern for part of the year, set amidst his vineyards in Strebersdorf and backing up to the Bisamberg above the Danube’s Left Bank. Given that I first tasted Walter’s wines on the recommendation of his near-neighbor and collaborator Fritz Wieninger, in whose cellars they are vinified, it’s not surprising that I found them to be some of Vienna’s most seriously successful not to mention infectiously delicious.
