Weinkellerei Aigner

About Weinkellerei Aigner

Weinkellerei Aigner on Wiener Straße in Gumpoldskirchen produces and bottles wine on a large scale, for retailers, the restaurant trade and other wine businesses. There is no tasting room or Heuriger here; it is a production business from which, according to the company, millions of bottles come every year.

What the winery does for others

The services are divided into modules that can be combined almost as you wish:

• Bulk wine: wine usually from the must stage, several million litres of different varieties in stock, on request also a "Wunschwein" (wine to order) blended to taste, plus frizzante and spritzers.
• Packaging and design: choice of bottle, closure and carton and, with partners, also the label or an entire brand concept.
• Bottling: bottles from 0.25 to 1.5 litres, labelled, boxed and on Euro or half pallets.
• Storage and delivery: the winery stores the finished goods and delivers on call.
• Small runs: from as few as 2,000 bottles, for example as your own wine to give as gifts or as a special edition.

Wines under its own name

The Aigner line includes Grüner Veltliner, Zweigelt, Blaufränkisch, Gemischter Satz and Müller-Thurgau. For Hofer Österreich the winery bottles, among others, Welschriesling, Müller-Thurgau and a Gemischter Satz "Lesegut", available in all Hofer branches.
