Best results for WEINRIEDER

The Poysdorfer wine estate is being awarded top marks in leading international  wine magazines.  Even film stars in Beverly Hills choose Weinrieder wines from the Weinviertel.

In the USA ’Wine Spectator’ and ’Wine Enthusiast’ and in Great Britain ’Decanter’ subjected Weinrieder’s latest range to a profound professional tasting and awarded it top marks.  The English language media are read worldwide and are considered opinion leaders in professional circles.  A producer who is awarded more than 90 points in the ‘Wine Spectator’ journal has basically sold his entire stock.  Here Weinrieder scored with 92 points! ‘Decanter’ pointed its readers specifically towards the estate with its excellent Riesling, Veltliner and the Welschriesling Eiswein.  Following a professional visit to the estate from the magazine ’Wine Enthusiast’ Weinrieder achieved fantastic marks.  Eight of his wines were awarded the hard-to-reach 90 point mark or higher.  The Grüner Veltliner Alte Reben, produced in a vineyard which is 50 years old, was especially highly rated - with 93 points; and the Eiswein Riesling Schneiderberg 2003 , with 95 points, even surpassed the top mark achieved by sweet wine expert Alois Kracher .

‘You cannot value a good performance in the leading magazines too highly, because sommeliers, top restaurants and the best vinotheques use them as a guideline’ - Friedrich Rieder knows this from his own experience.  After all, his wines are now on the wine list of the famous SPAGO restaurant in the upmarket area Beverly Hills.

WEINRIEDER is being served in the world’s best restaurant.

Following on from their triumph in the US, in Wolfgang Puck’s ‘Pago, the estate from Poysdorf  has succeeded  in achieving another hit in the export market.  The Weinviertler vintner Friedrich Rieder was successful in introducing his product onto the wine list of the famous British restaurant ‘The Fat Duck’.

This latest sale to the top class restaurant near London means  enormous prestige for Weinrieder.  For the next season the selected wines are being  served as part of the ‘daily tasting menu’.  Quite apart from the financial aspect - the real value lies in the fact that these wines are being presented on an international stage.  Friedrich Rieder sees it as a brilliant opportunity for the further developing  of his export market.  ‘This is also a great thing for the Weinviertel as a whole whose image we were able to boost again’ comments the successful vintner.

A short time ago, ‘The Fat Duck’ was voted the ‘best of the best’ by 600 international gourmet critics who tested 50 3-star Michelin restaurants from all over the world. Heston Blumenthal, 40 years old, owner and chef, famous in the international restaurant scene for his creativity and culinary skills won its legendary reputation as ‘the world’s best restaurant’.  He is equally famous for his presentation skills at international gourmet festivals and for his innovative approach to culinary development.  Queen Elisabeth has awarded him the ‘Order of the British Empire’.  The Weinrieder estate consider themselves - indirectedly - honoured through this new businessl link.

‘…..it is a fantastic opportunity for your estate to be represented in this top class restaurant.’

Weinrieder goes to Hollywood

Leap onto the wine list of the celebrity restaurant Spago

The Poysdorfer vintner Weinrieder has succeeded in making a huge leap forward in his attack on the export market.  For some time he has been trying to get into the US market.  Now his wines Grüner Veltliner - Alte Reben 2003 and Riesling, Lage Bockgärten II (2002)  have been chosen to appear on the wine list of the top restaurant Spago in Beverly Hills.

“This significant leap was made possible after a few exclusive tastings in San Francisco and New York” are Friedrich Rieder’s joyful comments.  The successful Weinviertler vintner is certain that this will be an enormous help in his attempts to conquer the American wine market.

The ‘Spago’ Restaurant was founded by the top chef Wolfgang Puck from Carinthia who is considered to be the second best known Austrian in the USA after Arnold Schwarzenegger.  He became world famous through the gala dinner for Hollywood stars after the annual Oscar ceremony.  Weinrieder is hoping that his presence in ‘Spago’ will lead to important new contacts in the prestigious US  market.
