Kattus

The story of the Kattus sparkling wine cellar doesn’t begin in a vineyard, but rather at the Viennese court, in the very heart of the imperial city. In 1857, Johann Kattus , an impressive entrepreneur with a keen sense for quality and market opportunities, founded a delicatessen there — a fine foods store that quickly became synonymous with luxurious indulgence. Within just a few years, Kattus had become the largest caviar merchant in Europe, supplying both the Austrian imperial court and the Prussian nobility. His foresight and commitment to excellence laid the foundation for a company that remains family-owned to this day.
