Weingut Zeitlberger

Weingut Zeitlberger in Tiefenthal near Großweikersdorf on the eastern Wagram deliberately focuses on red wine, above all Zweigelt, in a classic white-wine area. The Heuriger in the converted stable and in the courtyard is open three times a year for a few weeks; the wines are also available directly from the estate and in the online shop.

The winery

• Family: father and son, both named Josef Zeitlberger, farm around 14 hectares of vineyards around Großweikersdorf together with the family. Since 2012 the business has concentrated entirely on winegrowing
• Roles: Josef senior looks after the vineyard and the game, game sausages and smoked meat, Josef junior is the cellar master, Maria Zeitlberger runs the kitchen and writes the menu
• Site: the basis is the Ried Himmelreich, an airy south-facing slope on the Wagram, the mighty loess terrace north of the Danube
• Mature red wines: at the Falstaff tasting for the 100th birthday of the Zweigelt variety in 2022, the Himmelreich reserves of the 2012, 2015 and 2016 vintages scored 92 and 93 points
