Born in Innsbruck in 1968, studied business administration and worked for many years as a top manager in the automotive industry. At a young age, he followed the example of his father, who was always enthusiastic about good wine, and began consistently collecting wine. During his professional years in France, Klingler's love for good food and the best wines was further refined. At some point, the idea was born to create a very special red wine in Austria, and with Johannes Trapl, the ideal partner was found for this ambitious project, which celebrated its premiere with the 2012 vintage. Since 2012, the red wines have been produced at the Spitzerberg in Carnuntum. When the opportunity arose in 2014 to purchase 5 hectares in the Wachau region, he jumped at the chance.
In the course of his successful career, Mr. Christian Klingler has been first in many steps, sometimes the youngest, but often the most successful - always with a strong orientation towards quality, sustainability, creativity and a search for the best. His other entrepreneurial activities and investments are characterized by innovation and consistency. Actually, the experiences and the worlds of the two could hardly be more different. But the common dream of wanting to make the best wine, the mutual respect, the use of the respective strengths, the passionate search for the best and the creative success-oriented teamwork enable top performances.
