The winery is located in the municipality of Kleinhadersdorf, west of the municipality of Poysdorf, in the Lower Austrian wine-growing region of Weinviertel. The wine tradition of the Rieder family goes back many decades and finds expression in the farm name "WEINRIEDER". The farm is managed by Friedrich Rieder. The philosophy of the house sets the direction: "Ingenuity is often only a millimetre away from disaster". The vineyards cover 20 hectares of vineyards in the best south and south-west locations on loess and clay soils in the vineyards Birthal, Bockgärten, Hohenleiten, Kugler and Schneiderberg. They are exclusively planted with white wine varieties, namely Grüner Veltliner, Riesling, Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc.
The classic on the farm is Grüner Veltliner. Starting with the Weinviertel DAC, as a typical peppery Grüner Veltliner of the region or as a single-vineyard Veltliner from the Ried Schneiderberg, to old vines and reserves from 60-year-old vines. In the vineyards, viticulture is close to nature with, for example, the protection of beneficial insects, cover crop, as well as rigorous yield limitation through short pruning and consistent thinning out. The fermentation of the natural wines takes place in cooled stainless steel tanks with long storage on the fine yeast. 95% of the wines produced are dry white wines with ageing potential and 5% are sweet wines. The wines are exported to a total of 30 countries, including China, Russia, Jamaica and the USA, where they can be found in the best restaurants. The winery is a member of the Premium Wine Estates Weinviertel Association.
The wein.plus encyclopaedia is a comprehensive, well-researched reference work. Available anytime and anywhere, it has become an indispensable part of teaching, used by students and myself alike. Highly recommended!
