Willi Opitz

Burgenland reds and noble-rot desserts from Austria's eastern frontier.

Willi Opitz operates in Burgenland, Austria's easternmost wine region, where continental climate and lakeside influence create conditions for both dry reds and concentrated sweet wines. The winery's portfolio centers on Zweigelt, Austria's signature red variety, exemplified by Opitz One—a wine that demonstrates the grape's dark fruit density and structural grip. Alongside this flagship red sits Homok, a wine of unspecified composition that rounds out the range. The winery also produces Samling 88 Trockenbeerenauslese, a Scheurebe-based dessert wine of considerable concentration, reflecting Burgenland's reputation for noble rot expressions. Falstaff and Wine Spectator have both assessed the winery's output, with Opitz One achieving particular recognition among prestige critics.
