The provincial winery Gut Altenberg is located in Retz, the well-known wine town in northwestern Lower Austria, directly on the Czech border. The vineyards are located in the best Retzer Rieden Altenberg and Züngel at the foothills of the Manhartsberg. They are located in a protected southern exposure and benefit on the one hand from the mineral-rich, permeable primary rock soil and on the other hand from a particularly sunny, Pannonian-influenced climate. The ripe, healthy grapes are gently processed and vinified according to the type of wine.
In the case of white wines, the emphasis is on fruitiness and freshness. The red wines are generally aged in large wooden barrels, while St. Laurent, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Pinot Noir are also partially aged in barriques.
Thanks to the high quality of its products, the Landesweingut has received several awards that underscore the achievements of this model winery. In 2019, the Gewürztraminer Auslese 2018 was named the national winner at the "SALON Austria Wine". In 2012, the winery was certified by the "Regional Wine Committee Weinviertel". The winery has a winery house in the middle of the vineyards, which is ideal for wonderful parties and events.
