About our winery
Quality and tradition - that's what WAJOS stands for with its namesake Walter Josef Oster, a traditional family winery in Ediger-Eller with a history spanning over 15 generations. Anyone who knows the Moselle knows that a very special love and passion characterizes viticulture in the steep-slope region. From this connection to ours, we have lovingly developed the winery into an entire world of enjoyment - a world that combines tradition and innovation and simply wants to make life more delicious with the combination of wine and delicatessen.
Viticulture in the 15th generation
What makes a good wine? The answer: terroir. The interaction of the factors climate, region, location and of course the winemaker. If everything fits, great, individual and varied wines are created. The winemaker has no influence on the climate, region and location, but he does have influence on the quality of the wine. Only with experience, passion, creativity and personality does the wine become something special and unique. And we as a family have had this for over 1 generation, preserving our tradition and taking innovative new paths.
Our specialty is our origins
Our home: the region of the Lower Moselle or “Terrace Moselle”. The climate here is characterized by relatively cool summers and mild winters, which allows our vines to grow into high-quality vintages. Particularly in our steep slopes, the geological and geographical conditions have different soil conditions and climate conditions. The terraces have been lovingly created and maintained, expanded and renewed for centuries. The southern orientation of the steep slopes towards the sun is optimal, which were already known in Prussian times as “Gand Cru locations” and, in combination with the high mineral content of the soil, give our wines their unique character.
What sets us apart
Our region
Home: The approximately one hundred kilometer long section of the river, the Lower Moselle region or “Terrace Moselle”, is the home of our wines. It lies within the temperate climate zone, on the northern border of the area in Europe suitable for viticulture.
Terroir - Mineral locations
Unique and rare: Red slate gives the wine something special
Flint notes, blue and gray slate, fine spiciness and even saltiness. This gives our wine a unique style of minerality depending on the different soil conditions.
The diversity of grape varieties
Diverse and unique: Pinot Blanc, Gewürztraminer, Cabernet Dorsa, Pinot Noir, Rivaner, Bacchus, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabertin, Dornfelder, Acolon, Domina or the classic “Riesling” – our wide range of products is as diverse as our grapes.
Moselle red wine
ON THE WAY TO THE INTERNATIONAL TOP.
Passion Rouge: White wine, especially Riesling, and the Moselle simply belong together. It was forbidden to produce red wine here until 1986. 3 years is a very short time, but our family started thinking about red wine very early on. It is thanks to Walter and Michael Oster's passion for red wine that we have used our expertise to develop a style over the years that clearly stands out from other red wine producers on the Moselle.
