Franz Paschinger

The Climb

Weinbauschule Klosterneuburg provided the formal base for Franz Paschinger’s practice, a training that points directly to the measured habits needed in viticulture and cellar work. That schooling sits behind a career defined by precision rather than display: the discipline of the cellar, the steady pace of the vines, and the responsibility of carrying fruit through to bottle. As owner and Managing Director of Paschinger KG BIO Weingut Urbanihof, and as kellermeister and winemaker of BIO Weingut Urbanihof – Familie Paschinger, Franz Paschinger holds both the business and the making of the wines in view at once. It is a split role that keeps administration tied to the day-to-day decisions that shape an estate’s character.

Today

At BIO Weingut Urbanihof in Fels am Wagram, Franz Paschinger serves as owner and Managing Director, while his work remains closely linked to winemaking at BIO Weingut Urbanihof – Familie Paschinger. The title is brief, but the remit extends across practical, technical, and longer-term decisions that define an estate’s direction. His work is anchored in quality and sustainability, with each vintage asking for fresh attention and care. The role is less about holding a place than about keeping it in step with the demands of the season.

Signature

Franz’s signature wines include Grüner Veltliner »Bertha« and Roter Veltliner »Sigmund«. Within the estate’s range, they read as clear markers of house style, with the variety names carrying the weight of recognition. They function as reference points for the work at BIO Weingut Urbanihof, and as named expressions that identify the estate’s approach in the bottle.

In Their Words “We deal with quality and sustainability anew every day and strive to offer our customers only the very best.”

Recognition

Paschinger frames the estate’s standard in direct terms: “We deal with quality and sustainability anew every day and strive to offer our customers only the very best.” The line matches the way his work is described at BIO Weingut Urbanihof and BIO Weingut Urbanihof – Familie Paschinger, where consistency is treated as a daily task rather than a slogan. In a trade governed by season, patience, and exacting thresholds, the statement points to a straightforward discipline: meet each day’s work with the same seriousness, and let that show in the wines.
