The Wieninger name is synonymous with a commitment to excellence. And Fritz Wieninger has been doing just that for many years. Here, a traditional wine tavern has developed into a top-quality winery. For some years now, Wieninger has been processing grapes from both sides of the Danube. With the famous and best sites on Vienna's Nussberg, the dynamic winemaker has excellent grape material at his disposal, and he knows how to turn this into an extensive range of top wines.
Wieninger is famous in Austria for his barrique-aged Grand Select Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs, and his cassis-savoury Bordeaux blend (Cabernet/Merlot), Danubis Grand Select, is also worthy of note. A particular speciality is the traditional "Wiener Gemischter Satz". For this authentic terroir wine, the vines of different varieties are mixed in the vineyard and contribute their respective characteristics. Since the 2013 vintage, it has also been awarded DAC status.
This export-oriented winery is the only Viennese winery to have found recognition in Austria's top gastronomic scene. Wieninger has long been the undisputed number one in quality wine in the metropolis, exporting 40 per cent of its production to 31 countries on three continents. Its share of the Viennese gastronomy scene has also risen sharply in recent years. To make Vienna's top wine even more popular, the winemaker has joined forces with the Christ, Edlmoser, Cobenzl, Mayer am Pfarrplatz and Fuhrgassl-Huber wineries to form the "WienWein" group. With the 2017 vintage, twelve Viennese vineyards were classified as "Erste Lagen" for the first time by the association "Traditionsweingüter Österreich", four of which are cultivated by the Wieninger winery.
