Regional Wines

They originate from high-quality, characterful, and traditional vineyards on Vienna’s Nussberg.

Nussberg

Once called Weingebirg – Vienna’s premier site, the Wiener Nussberg.

The southern slope and limestone-rich soils provide perfect conditions for Riesling, Gemischter Satz, and Burgundy varieties.

The diversity of grape varieties results from the Heuriger tradition and the significant geological differences on the Nussberg. The limestone content varies between 25% and 65% and combines with clay, loam, and sand.

Shells, once washed ashore by the sea, create a multi-layered minerality in the wines from the Nussberg.

The influence of the Vienna Woods and the Danube guarantees a perfect microclimate that has a cooling effect and thus shapes the important fruit aromas.

The Nussberg undoubtedly ranks among Austria’s top vineyard sites.

Premier Cru Wines

This vineyard classification stands for the very best sites (Premier Cru) of a wine region and applies only to grape varieties typical of the area.

Ried Preussen-Nussberg

First documented in 1501, named after the royal councilor Heinrich Preussel – not after the Prussians, as is often mistakenly claimed.

The Preussen is located in the “Mittlere Schos” of the Nussberg grand cru site, which is divided into three terraces. In this south-facing “prime cut,” the limestone content of the

fossils and shells deposited millions of years ago is very high. The Preussen has always been considered a premier site on Vienna’s Nussberg and produces Riesling and Wiener Gemischter Satz in particular with incredible minerality and complexity.

Ried Langteufel-Nussberg

The single vineyard Langteufel is part of the Nussberg grand cru site. The name derives from the shape of the plot. The Ried Langteufel is a long, wedge-shaped site facing southwest that has always been very difficult to cultivate. The winegrowers would curse: “The long one is the devil.” This site was first documented in 1384 as “Langtewel am Nusper.”

The Ried Langteufel is not unlike the Preussen and is characterized by sandstone with a high quartz content and marine deposits.
