Wieninger 2008 Nussberg Alte Reben Gemischter Satz White (Vienna)
- Cellar Selection
- $40
The Nussberg vineyard towering above the western edge of Vienna is famed for its field blend Gemischter Satz (mixed varieties). Fritz Wieninger has produced a wine that perfectly balances opulence with minerality. Rich fruits march with citrus and finish with structure, and the potential to age.

Wieninger 2005 Preussen Grüner Veltliner (Vienna)
- Cellar Selection
- $32
Grapes from a small parcel of vineyard on the Nussberg hill go into this 100-case production wine. It has some wood aging, but the main element is the rich and concentrated fruit. This will certainly repay some bottle age. 100 cases produced.

Wieninger 2004 Nussberg Alte Reben White (Vienna)
- Editors' Choice
- $25
From a blend of nine different grapes, all picked together in the traditional Gemischter Satz style, this is pure Vienna. For such a seemingly haphazard way of working, this is a stylish, complex wine, with flavors coming from all directions. Nuts, ripe fruits and spice all contribute, as does good minerality.

Wieninger 2009 Herrenholz Grüner Veltliner (Vienna)
- Editors' Choice

The Herrenberg vineyard has a produced a wonderfully rich Grüner, its rich tropical character broad but never far from freshness. Pear juice and peaches dominate, with just a fleck of spice, pierced through with mouth watering acidity.

Wieninger 2005 Nussberg Riesling (Vienna)
- $25
Patches of limestone soil on the Nussberg hill allow Riesling to be fruity—with white peaches and apricots—and also mineral. There is a touch of spice as well as a long-lasting citric aftertaste.

Wieninger 2004 Grand Select Pinot Noir (Vienna)
- $30
A big, wood-aged wine, which at this stage shows considerable flavors from the Burgundy barrel aging. But then there’s the fruit—red berries, cherries and sweetness—merging into what will be a soft, velvet wine. Give it 2–3 years.

Wieninger 2005 Kaasgraben Grüner Veltliner (Vienna)
- $23
A vineyard high on the Nussberg hill gives this hugely concentrated wine perfumed flavors of ripe plums to go with its touch of pink grapefruit. Well structured and outstanding.
