Weingut Liechtenstein

Since 1436, the Liechtenstein family's name has been inextricably linked with wine growing in the northern Weinviertel region. A visit to the main winery in Wilfersdorf, a member of the "Traditionsweingüter Österreich", with its vaulted cellar dating back to 1725 and the modern press house, or to the wine shop picturesquely situated in the park of the Liechtenstein Garden Palace in Vienna is well worthwhile. The style of the wines - elegance, freshness and structure - is characterised by their provenance from outstanding vineyards, the tradition of the princely family in viticulture and the passionate work of the internationally experienced team around winery manager Stefan Tscheppe, site manager Christina Fritz and oenologist Josef Stumvoll. In production, Josef Stumvoll and his team take innovative steps in cultivation and development. The vineyards are cultivated organically and regeneratively (certified with the 2024 vintage), and some of the wines are fermented spontaneously. Highlights from the calcareous loess soils of the 30 hectares of individual vineyards are the unique cuvées of Riesling and Grüner Veltliner from vines up to 40 years old from the Karlsberg and Johannesbergen vineyards in Schrattenberg and Herrnbaumgarten. Chardonnay and Blaufränkisch from the Leithaberg complete the range - wines of unmistakable expression, maturity, ageing potential, freshness and drinking pleasure.

For centuries, the name of the Liechtenstein family has been inextricably linked with viticulture in the northern Weinviertel region. Today, Princess Marie is involved in the Hofkellerei together with the innovative and experienced team around Stefan Tscheppe and Josef Stumvoll. The wines of the Hofkellerei are closely related to the special vineyards, such as Karlsberg and Johannesbergen, and the unique culture of the family. Freshness, precision, authenticity and inspiration characterise the work from the vineyards to the finished wines. In the centuries-old cellar vaults, Grüner Veltliner, Riesling, Zweigelt and Merlot mature calmly in small batches into wines with fine structure, distinct vintage characteristics and expression. In the heart of the production, in Wilfersdorf, the paths lead the visitor through the new press house into the cellar vaults, where vintages from 1957 onwards are stored in the Vinothek. In the modern reception room, the wines can be enjoyed together with local gastronomic delights. In the newly designed cellars in Gartenpalais, the wine shop and bar in the Fürstengasse in Vienna's 9th district, in the magnificent park of the Gartenpalais, the wines are offered for tasting and sale together with local specialities.
