Piriwe

Austrian Thermenregion specialist in Rotgipfler, Zierfandler, and late-harvest whites.

Piriwe produces wines from Austria's Thermenregion, a distinctive corner of Niederösterreich known for its thermal springs and warm microclimates. The winery focuses on the region's signature white varieties—Rotgipfler, Zierfandler, and Neuburger—grapes that thrive in the area's specific terroir and demand careful handling to express their character. The Spätrot Rotgipfler Spätlese and Neuburger Trockenbeerenauslese represent the winery's work with botrytized and late-harvest expressions, styles that require optimal ripeness and selective picking. These wines have been assessed by Falstaff. The Thermenregion's warm conditions allow for the concentration and noble rot development that define these wine categories, making them expressions of both grape and place.
