WienWein – its members are six rather different characters who have joined together to fight on behalf of Viennese wine for many years. Six personalities with various contrasting strengths, but one great common passion that unites them: leading Viennese wine and Austria’s winegrowing region Wien into a brilliant future.

Some 400 years of family tradition, nature-conscious viticulture and innovative sprit provide the cornerstones upon which the Christ estate is built. Characterised by uncommon enthusiasm, dedicated winegrower Rainer Christ cultivates vineyards primarily on Vienna’s Bisamberg.
In 2005 the estate in Jedlersdorf was renovated & expanded; parts of the old building were carefully restored, while a stylish & modern architecture was created featuring a blend of natural stone, wood & concrete. Weingut Christ cultivates a legacy of first-class vineyard sites, some of which are growing very old vines. Rainer Christ loves wines with structure & finesse; Grüner Veltliner & Wiener Gemischter Satz are his marquee players.

Weingut Wien Cobenzl has an eventful, tradition-steeped history.
Wine was already being pressed on the Latisberg (today better known as the Cobenzl) back in the 13th century. In 1907 the City of Vienna acquired the land on the Cobenzl and, over the years, converted operations to viticulture. In the 1980s the City of Vienna’s Forestry and Agriculture Department began to build up the wine estate and to steadily raise its quality. The vineyards — with evocative names such as Ried Pfeffer, Ried Seidenhaus and Ried Bellevue — are among the finest sites in the city and offer a magnificent view over the metropolis. Following a three-year conversion phase in Grinzing and on the Nussberg, Weingut Cobenzl has been certified organic since 2023.

The records of the Edlmoser family estate reach all the way back to the year 1374. Sustainability and uncompromising standards of quality have always shaped the way people think & act at this estate, located in Mauer, down south in Vienna’s 23rd district.
Conditions in the southern foothills of the Vienna Woods in Mauer are completely different from those in the north of the city. On the Kadolzberg, the subsidence of the Vienna Basin has created loamy flysch sandstone soil – not easy to cultivate, but just the best for aroma & character in a wine. The dedicated & lively winegrower Michael Edlmoser succeeds year after year in bringing multi-layered, spicy wines into the bottle.

A different wind has been blowing through the vines here since winemaker Thomas Huber took over the helm at the family estate and in the tavern in 2012. Wine production has grown in importance and the wines have long since reached the top rung of the Viennese quality ladder.
Thomas is a man of action. In just a few years he has catapulted the Fuhrgassl-Huber estate into the premier league of Viennese wine. From autochthonous grape varieties such as in the Wiener Gemischter Satz or the Neuburger, harvested from the magnificent vineyard sites on the Nussberg and in Neustift, Huber brings a lot of feel & intuition to his vinifications, yielding wines that are very popular with younger audiences. The dynamic winemaker adds a great asset to the entire Viennese wine scene with his inspiring manner.

The estate’s roots reach back more than 340 years; the foundation was laid in 1683 by the Mayer family on the slopes of Vienna’s Nussberg. In 2007 Hans Schmid took over the tradition-rich house and led it into a new era.
Since 2025 the “Mayer am Pfarrplatz” has been headed by Thomas Podsednik, a graduate oenologist with decades of expertise. An experienced team supports him in matters of quality, style and innovation — always guided by the principle of combining living tradition with state-of-the-art cellar technology and a clear vision for the future.
This dynamism is also reflected in the range: alongside classics such as Wiener Gemischter Satz, Grüner Veltliner and Riesling, the estate sets new accents too — for instance with the alcohol-free white wines that have broadened the portfolio since 2023. The “Nachhaltig Austria” (Sustainable Austria) certification underlines its respectful use of resources and near-natural work in the vineyard.

Internationally famed winegrower Fritz Wieninger can be duly praised as a pioneer of the new Viennese viticulture. It is thanks in large part to his vision & dedication that Viennese wine has become an item that finds itself in demand all over the world.
Fritz took over his parents’ hundred year-old wine estate at the foot of the Bisamberg in the 1980s. Right from the start, he introduced many innovations and turned the image of Viennese wine upside down. Today Weingut Wieninger stands for top-echelon wines from Vienna, and is better known further around the world than almost any other estate in Austria. Since 2008 Fritz Wieninger has also been cultivating his vineyards according to biodynamic guidelines and is a member of the winegrowers’ association »respekt-BIODYN«.
