Weingut Münzenrieder is located in Apetlon, in the immediate vicinity of numerous salt lakes that are highly typical of this area. Today, this winery is far from unknown, especially regarding its Prädikat wines, the balance of which is one of the winemaker's most important concerns. The typical character of the terroir is reflected in the wines of this dedicated winemaking family. Johannes Münzenrieder, who took over the winery in 2005, has given it a new lease of life with his red wine cuvée "Mavie" and the reconstruction of the cellar and the new sales room. The fruitiness and concentration of the Sämling, Welschriesling, and Grüner Veltliner grape varieties make them ideal for producing Beerenauslese, Trockenbeerenauslese, and Icewines typical of the region, which is characterised by a harmonious combination of sweetness and acidity with the fruity components of the wine. Zweigelt, Blaufränkisch and cuvées of Zweigelt, Cabernet Franc and Merlot are also produced. However, the Münzenrieder family is also devoting more and more energy to dry white wines, which are vinified in steel tanks as well as small wooden barrels. International awards and frequent inclusion in the Austrian Wine Salon are testimony to the quality of the wines, as are export successes overseas.
