Vienna is the only major capital with a real working vineyard industry inside its city limits, and the Nussberg is its best hill — the rows look straight down on the Danube and the city rooftops. Ried Preussen is a classified Erste Lage on that slope, facing south between 210 and 325 meters on calcareous sandstone that is unusually high in quartz and low in lime, with marine sediment breaking through to the surface; Wieninger farms just over a hectare of the twelve-hectare site. The name traces back to Heinrich Preussel, a crown counsel who controlled the landing port at Nussdorf in the 1280s. Fritz Wieninger is the grower who made Viennese wine serious again, and he farms biodynamically as a member of Austria's respekt-BIODYN group. 2020 was a cool, stop-and-go Austrian vintage with far more rain than the years before it, demanding real selection in the vineyard and giving back wines with lower alcohol and bracing acidity — a classic shape for Riesling, and this one has the frame to keep developing.

More about Wieninger

Vienna is the only world capital with a serious wine industry inside its city limits, and Fritz Wieninger is one of the growers who did the most to make people take it seriously.

The Wieninger family has been making wine for well over a century, and for most of that time it sold its wine the Viennese way, by the glass and jug at the family Heuriger, the neighborhood wine tavern. Fritz took over from his father in 1987 and set out to put Vienna's wines on fine-dining lists instead. The estate is based in Stammersdorf, on the north bank of the Danube, and farms around 50 hectares on two hills facing each other across the river: Bisamberg, with lighter, sandy loess soils, and the Nussberg, the city's most famous slope, on limestone and shell-rich soils that give richer wines. The vineyards have been certified biodynamic, through the respekt-BIODYN group, since 2011.

Wieninger is best known as the leading champion of Wiener Gemischter Satz, the traditional Viennese field blend in which many white varieties grow, are picked and ferment together, including single-vineyard Nussberg bottlings such as Ulm and Rosengartl. There is also Riesling from the Nussberg's Preussen site, Pinot Noir and the red Wiener Trilogie blend. Expect dry, precise wines with a real sense of place.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Wiener schnitzel with lemon and potato salad, trout with brown butter and almonds, roast pork with caraway, or cold-smoked fish with fresh cheese.

Tasting Profile

Lime, white peach and yellow apple over a stony, faintly herbal core. Dry and medium-bodied, with high, clean acidity and a firm mineral finish. Poised rather than showy.
