The Gmeiners run their winery by the motto quality begins in the vineyard. 20 hectares of Welschriesling, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay, with red wine varieties Zweigelt, Blaufränkisch, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah are grown on its exceptional Purbach vineyards. All of the vineyards are located in the Leithaberg region, producing terroir-rich white and red wines. These wine show an elegant fruit character, with a complex body and a fine minerality.
The mild Pannonian climate on Lake Neusiedl allows for the slow ripening of grapes on its sun-drenched slopes, while the cooler nights at higher altitudes allow the grapes to develop intense aromas. With these growing conditions, the Gmeiner winery is able to produce complex wines rich in extract. With perfect conditions, a good wine can develop into a truly excellent wine. Using state-of-the-art cellar technology, the wines are matured in stainless steel tanks and barrels in order to develop their full flavour.
The family abides by the principle: their wines must embrace their Austrian terroir, but also give emphasis to an internationally appeal. These wines are youthful and charming on the one hand, but also show true complexity as they age. Weingut Gmeiner is a member of the "Leithaberg DAC" association.
