The Wine:

Pale lemon in colour. The nose boasts aromas of ripe peach along with more tropical hints of mango & pineapple. The palate is textured, complex & vibrant with notes of ripe stone fruits balanced by a refreshing acidity. Aged on its fine lees for approximately three months in order to add roundness to the palate. No oak was used in the winemaking process for this organic & biodynamic wine.

Further Info:

Weingut Wieninger is comprised of 45 hectares of biodynamically & organically-grown vines on two main sites: Bisamberg (30 ha) & the smaller Nussberg (15 ha), separated by the Danube river. Fritz Wieninger is considered a pioneer of the “New Vienna” wine movement, combining a sense of modernity & progress with the traditions of the region & of his family, who have been making wine for over 100 years. “I try to use the numerous facets of my grape material,” Fritz says. “To be able to show the differences in site & vintage & to get the character of the vineyard into the bottle – this is my greatest challenge.”

There are over 600 hectares of vines within Vienna making it Europe’s only capital city also demarcated as a wine appellation. The Wieninger winery is in the 21st district on the outskirts of Vienna, home to many of the city’s ‘heurigen’ (wine taverns) & home to the famed Bisamberg hill where the Romans once cultivated the vine. Wieninger is a member of the vintner’s association Österreichische Traditionsweingüter & a member of Respekt, a certifying body for biodynamic viticulture in Austria.
