Ludwig Neumayer, for decades the leading oenological star of the Traisental, concentrates exclusively on the production of white wines. The barren, rocky limestone terroir produces wines of exceptional finesse. Grüner Veltliner and Riesling are the most important varieties, but concentrated Weißburgunder and Sauvignon Blanc are also highly regarded. The top wines are called "Der Wein vom Stein" and come from the highest and stoniest Inzersdorf vineyards - Neumayers Stein. In addition, site wines such as "Zwirch", "Rothenbart", and "Rafasetzen" are cultivated here. Outstanding single vineyard wines are also produced under the label "Ikon".
Ludwig Neumayer aims to present an inimitable style of dense wines with plenty of freshness. The pale colour of Neumayer's wines is not due to a lack of ripeness in the grapes but to the unique soils. An additional advantage of the wines is their marked acidity structure. Residual sugars are only tolerated if they suit the style of the wine. Neumayer also uses no animal protein in the winemaking process.
Leading Austrian and international restaurateurs have long since discovered these sophisticated wines. Ludwig Neumayer has achieved positions on wine lists that other winemakers can only dream of, such as the star-rated "Astrance" or the "Plaza Athénée" formerly under the management of Alain Ducasse.
