Manfred Weiss

Neusiedlersee specialist in botrytized whites and Austrian varietals.

Manfred Weiss operates in the Neusiedlersee region of Burgenland, Austria's easternmost wine territory. The lake's continental climate and shallow waters create ideal conditions for botrytized wines—a specialization evident in the winery's portfolio. The Neuburger Beerenauslese, made from the indigenous Austrian variety, and the Chardonnay Beerenauslese both demonstrate the precision required to harvest affected grapes at peak ripeness. These dessert wines have been assessed by Falstaff and Wine Enthusiast. The winery also produces a Grüner Veltliner, Austria's signature white variety, which brings the crisp, mineral-driven character typical of the region. The Neusiedlersee's unique terroir—shaped by the shallow lake's moderating influence and alkaline soils—supports both the aromatic whites and the noble rot conditions that define this corner of Burgenland.
