Despite its name, Roter Veltliner is not related to Grüner Veltliner, but like Grüner Veltliner, it makes white wine. Wagram is the main area where it is cultivated.
The vine tends to be quite productive and needs to have yields severely limited in order to produce quality wine.
From the villages of Fels am Wagram and Ruppertstal.
