Weingut PMC Münzenrieder

Burgenland whites: Grüner Veltliner, Welschriesling, and botrytis Chardonnay.

Weingut PMC Münzenrieder operates in Burgenland, Austria's easternmost wine region, where continental climate and mineral-rich soils shape distinctive white wines. The winery's portfolio centers on Austria's signature varieties: Grüner Veltliner, the country's most planted grape, known for its herbaceous minerality and crisp acidity; Welschriesling, a regional staple offering aromatic complexity; and Chardonnay, here expressed as a Trockenbeerenauslese—a rare, intensely sweet style made from botrytis-affected grapes. Falstaff, the influential Austrian wine critic, has rated the winery's Welschriesling, Trockenbeerenauslese, and Grüner Veltliner, with the Welschriesling achieving particular distinction. Burgenland's warm, dry conditions and proximity to Lake Neusiedl create ideal circumstances for both dry whites and the noble rot conditions necessary for late-harvest dessert wines. The winery's focus on these core varieties reflects both regional tradition and the terroir's natural strengths.
