Paul Direder pours passion and love into his wines. Working in his own vineyards since he was 17, the lonesome cowboy of wine growing and farming produces high quality wines for your everyday enjoyment. When Paul D.’s great-great-grandfather started with classic agriculture and a few vineyards more than 160 years ago, he did not anticipate that his wines would win the appeal of customers around the world.

The Direder farm is located in the village of Mitterstockstall in the Wagram region. The Wagram roughly consists of a 25-mile long ridge between the towns of Krems and Tulln with soils made up of ancient gravel sediments from the Danube River as well as layers of loess that formed in the ice age which cover the substrate of marine deposits and river gravels. The name Wagram comes from "Wogenrain" meaning "shore".

Paul Direder is just the current caretaker of the Direder Farm which dates back to 1849 with Paul's great-great-grandfather Leopold. At the age of 16, when he was still a student and with the support of his mother, Paul leased the farm from his grandparents. At this time the farm consisted of 86 acres of agricultural land, only 10 of which were devoted to vineyards. The vineyards have since been expanded and the current production is roughly 80,000 bottles. Meanwhile, Paul graduated with a degree in viticulture and oenology as well as agriculture. Paul has farmed sustainably since he took over the farm and in 2020 he decided to work towards organic certification.

We are pleased to now offer “Wanted” in a can! Austria is a white wine country known for Grüner Veltliner, so why not put this delicious juice from Paul Direder in a can? This is the same quality Grüner we have come to love so much over the past few years.

When you pop open this can the first sip is a bit frizzante due to the total closure of the can, so pour this in a wine glass if possible, wait for just a minute and that natural Co2will blow off. Or drink straight out of the can and you'll enjoy a frizzante Grüner on the first few sips. Refreshing and crisp with the typical white pepper finish.”
