Weingut Wieninger

This estate at the foot of the Bisamberg cultivates some 40 hectares of vineyards on both sides of the Danube. Although its recently refurbished cellars are nestled in an old monastery, the original cellar just a few paces down the road is still used for barrel storage. The soils near the winery are a touch heavier, with a higher clay content, bringing forth richer styles. This is where most of the chardonnay and pinot noir is planted. Across the river on the Nussberg, the more calcareous soils tend to yield finer, more delicate wines. Fritz Wieninger was not only instrumental in resurrecting the concept of field blends, he is also since 2008 a member of Respekt, the core group of 15 leading biodynamic producers in Austria. Although the freshness of his 2012s works to their advantage, 2011 appears to be the more concentrated vintage.
