Landesweingut Gut Altenberg is located in Retz, the well-known wine town in north-western Lower Austria, directly on the Czech border. The vineyards are located in the best Retz vineyards Altenberg and Züngel on the foothills of the Manhartsberg. They are situated in a protected south-facing position and benefit from the mineral-rich, permeable primary rock soil on the one hand and a particularly sunny, Pannonian-influenced climate on the other. The ripe, healthy grapes are carefully processed and matured according to the type of wine. For the white wines, the emphasis is on fruitiness and freshness. The red wines are generally matured in large wooden barrels, while some of the St. Laurent, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Pinot Noir are also matured in barriques.
Thanks to the high quality of its products, the Landesweingut has repeatedly received awards that underline the achievements of this model winery. In 2019, the Gewürztraminer Auslese 2018 was named national winner at the "SALON Österreich Wein". In 2025, the Gewürztraminer Auslese 2022 was chosen as the state winner.
The winery has a winegrower's house in the middle of the vineyards, which is ideal for wonderful celebrations and events.
