Biodynamic Wine
from Wagram
Demeter-certified, in harmony with soil and vine — characterful wines from our vineyards around Schloss Kirchberg.

The soil as
living foundation
living foundation
The soil itself reveals how a winemaker thinks and how his wines taste. With biodynamics, preparations, and promoted soil life, our vineyards have truly become wine gardens — diverse, resilient, vital.

Wein in harmony
with nature
with nature
We live in a world of specialization. For me, it was clear early on: That is not my path. I want to maintain diverse agriculture in a closed farm cycle — arable farming, livestock breeding, and viticulture belong together and support each other.
Since 2008, Waldviertler Blondvieh has been grazing on our pastures. Their manure becomes the best fertilizer and the basis of our biodynamic preparations — this is how we give life back to the soil.

Human & Animal
Waldviertler Blondvieh
Since 2008, the robust, small-framed cattle breed has grazed freely on our pastures in a suckler cow system — and naturally reduces vegetation in the old apricot orchard. Their manure is turned into fertilizer and biodynamic preparations.
Human & Plant
Ridge Cultivation
We cultivate our fields according to the principles of Dammkultur: The soil is only aerated, not turned. This creates a loose, finely rooted soil with its own microclimate — since 2019, Quinoa has also been growing here (queenoa.at).
Vegetable Variety
Community Supported Agriculture
Three hectares are dedicated to vegetable cultivation — biodynamically cultivated by Rudi Hoheneder, who supplies us and his members with fresh vegetables summer and winter.
Biodiversity
Windbreak
As fewer and fewer birds stopped by, we planted windbreaks around the estate with many trees and shrubs — natural nesting sites that have noticeably increased biodiversity.
More than a winery
What we do only makes sense as a whole
The vineyards, the fields, the livestock, the insects in the soil — everything belongs together. Arable farming, animal husbandry, and viticulture support each other: The animals' manure is the best fertilizer, the fresh hay the best feed.
History
Since the
12th century
12th century
First mentioned around 1150 as property of the Passau Cathedral Chapter; 1310 the Gothic chapel, in the 1540s the Renaissance castle including an alchemist's laboratory. In 1869, the Salomon family acquired the estate at auction.

Vineyards on the Wagram
Our Vineyards — each a unique character
Tobel
Already in 1975, the grandfather planted the first Riesling vines in the meter-thick loess of the Tobel — an old name for "valley incision", wind-exposed and high on the Wagram.
Brunnberg
The name says it all: The vineyard on the Wagram edge is based on a multitude of springs — a foundation for the settlement and the first vineyards of the region.
Wachrein
In the 13th century, the area was called Wachrein — "wac" for wave, "rain" for border: a surging border, when the Danube still reached as far as the Wagram.
Waasweg
The old name for this wind-exposed site. Here the Chardonnay is rooted, which Father Fritz planted in the loess decades ago with a keen sense.
Maulbeerpark
Brown earth and deep loess. Precisely here, the conversion to biodynamics had a particularly positive impact — a perfect balance between sugar and acidity.
Halterhaus
Home of the Roter Veltliner — once one of the most important grape varieties of the Wagram, passed down in the old cellar records of father and grandfather.
Our Wines
From Our Cellar
Natural wines from biodynamic farming — spontaneously fermented, unfiltered, vibrant.

Pure Craftsmanship
in the Cellar
in the Cellar
Fritz Salomon's wines mature over years in the centuries-old cellar vaults of Gut Oberstockstall — there they get the peace and time to mature that they need. In the vineyard, we work Demeter-certified; in the cellar, we ferment exclusively spontaneously, without temperature control. We take nothing away and add nothing — except for small amounts of sulfur. This is how open, vital, long-lived wines are created: Fingerprints of their terroir.
- Spontaneous fermentation, no temperature control
- Filtered & unfiltered versions
- Also the young "Steffi" line: Pet Nat, Orange, Rosé, Red & White
