Weingut Wieninger

“We picked earlier than usual,” reports Fritz Wieninger, “because for the late-ripening varieties there simply wasn’t more potential for improvement. Here and there are vineyards where perhaps in retrospect I could and should have let the fruit hang a bit longer. Kaasgraben Grüner Veltliner, for instance, didn’t achieve the ripeness that I had anticipated. But I’m only human and I make a mistake now and then. Riesling wouldn’t have survived into late October or early November, because the botrytis was too strong, and in any event the ripeness was already high thanks to a small crop. I don’t have a single Riesling under 13.5%,” he adds as supporting evidence for that claim of ripeness. Wieninger is also quite correct in his contention that the best of his Grüner Veltliner and Gemischte Sätze display “aromatic intensity and palate radiance born of cool ripening conditions.” (My notes on Wieninger’s 2013s include not only details on some of these sites but also information on the varietal breakdown of his Gemischter Sätze.)
