Weinbau Christ, Vienna

Besides Gemischter Satz, Riesling is the other wine speciality Vienna has to offer. Rainer Christ is a top organic wine maker based in Stammersdorf in the North, unlike most other Viennese winemakers, who are located around the Western or South-Western edges of Vienna.

Christ macerates the hand selected grapes on their skins for 4-6 hours, before fermentation in stainless steel and maturing on their fine lees for 6 months. Typical citrus fruit, tangerine, elegant, fine and textured – a Viennese Riesling at its best!
