When you think of Austrian wines, it's hard to ignore it: Gruner Veltliner. It's rightfully the national grape of this Alpine country. Almost one in three grapes is Gruner Veltliner. It was precisely for this reason that the Gruber family decided to launch their new project based on this beloved wine.

Despite the dilapidated character—particularly of the vineyards—the Gruber family decided to take the plunge, and Schloss Maissau was founded in 2006.
