Neuburger, often called the Moses of Austrian grapes, is said to have been pulled from the Danube in the 1860s before being planted in the Wachau. Modern research shows it’s a natural cross of Roter Veltliner and Grüner Sylvaner. It thrives in the poor, dry loess soils of Reisenthal, where even minimal water allows this hardy variety to excel.
