Moreover, Falstaff Magazine praised the Franz Anton Mayer Winery as “one of our best wineries” and awarded it a star.
Other trade journals agree with this assessment: “Gault Millau”, “A la Carte”, “wein.pur”, “Wo isst Österreich” and “Die besten Weine Österreichs” mention the winery with praise, while the “Vinaria” even explicitly recommends it.
VINTNERS’ ASSOCIATION
Franz Anton Mayer has dedicated himself to the traditional production of Grüner Veltliner wines. True to the motto of the vintners’ association “Weingüter Wagram” (Wagram Wineries), our Veltliner is “as it really should be”.
