The
Weinviertel comprises an area of app. 16.000hectares of vineyards, making
it the largest and most interesting wine growing area in Austria. It
contains three quarters of all the picturesque ‘Kellergassen’ (lanes of
winecellars built into the hillside). |

Kleinhadersdorf/POYSDORF |
| |
|
 Kleinhadersdorf
near Poysdorf is right in the heart of the Weinviertel, 50 km north of
Vienna,
on the road to Brno in the Czech Republic. The area is famous for
providing the top wines for the production of Austrian sparkling wines (Sekt)
as well as being an important centre for the production of the Grüner
Veltliner.
Wine
growing was first mentioned in records of 1194 – and today gives the
landscape its significant appearance. You can see various historic
places in Poysdorf ; the town is also the starting point for signposted
walks and cycle rides through the vineyards.

 The
WEINRIEDER estate is to the west of Poysdorf in Kleinhadersdorf. Here
too the vines have a big influence on how the village looks at different
times of the year.
The
Rieder family’s history has also been dominated for many years by wine
growing. In the area everybody refers to the family as WEINRIEDER.

Our Philosophy for Vineyard and Cellar |
| |
-
 a
traditional way of growing wine – protecting ‘useful insects’, keeping
the vineyard green..
-
strict limiting of quantity through cutting back and thinning – ie
pruning off grapes in the summer to leave only one bunch per shoot
-
careful handling of the grapes during harvesting
-
gentle crushing of the grapes
-
no
addition of sugar – the sugar content is that in the grapes themselves
-
cool fermentation in steel vats is a guarantee for brilliant wines
