Weingut Falter Ego gives Graz a rare urban-wine argument: vines on the Kehlberg, grapes grown within the city, and a portfolio shaped around Sauvignon Blanc, Gelber Muskateller and Grauburgunder. The interest is less cellar-door spectacle than terroir, with limestone, slate, gneiss and dolomitic hillside conditions giving the project a sharper identity than a standard city tasting room.
