The Wieders are winegrowers in the truest sense of the word. They have been farmers for many generations and have been focusing on wine since the 1980s. Fields were swapped for vineyards, cattle sheds for bottling rooms, pigsties for barrique cellars and hay stores for wine taverns. In the meantime, the wines have established themselves at the top of the Austrian red wine scene. Georg Wieder has been passionately producing wines typical of the region since his youth, supported by his sister Burgi. Together with company founder and mother Juliana Wieder, they recognised the potential of the individual vineyards early on. In the knowledge that characteristic wine is not made in the cellar, but in the vineyard, they secured the best sites in the region: Spiegelberg, Bodigraben, Sonnensteig, Hochberg, Pollesgraben, Kronberg, Hussy, Kohlenberg, Hochäcker and Gfanger.
Around 44 hectares of vineyards are now cultivated, most of which are 50 years old or older. Blaufränkisch naturally takes centre stage on the estate and is cultivated in different varieties depending on the location and age of the vines. But other vines are also cultivated: Welschriesling and Chardonnay as well as Zweigelt, St. Laurent, Merlot, Syrah, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon present an exciting challenge. The international red wine varieties are only bottled as single varietals in excellent vintages, otherwise they round off the "Georg", "Morandus" and "Sempre" cuvées. The Wieders not only attach great importance to quality, but also put a lot of heart into the production. The preservation of tradition and nature does not exclude openness to new ideas. This is how Georg always manages to get the best out of the grapes.
