Wess

Winery description

Rainer was able to fulfill this dream with the founding of his winery in 2003, in a small rented cellar in the Unterloibner Kellergasse. Wine was made of purchased grapes from the best locations in the area. However, this cellar soon became too small and in 2009 they moved to the Krems area into an empty cellar of Wilhering Abbey. A modern, gentle and energy-saving grape reception was added to the old building. Today, the Winery Rainer Wess cultivates about 15 hectares and is a member of the Association of Austrian Traditionsweingüter. With Christina & David the second generation came to work at the Rainer Wess winery. To work together with Rainer in the pursuit of bringing the locations into the bottle - as unadulterated, inartificial and pure as possible.

  "A matter of feeling" To make good wine, you need a lot of knowledge and experience. In order to make excellent wines, we believe, it takes a great deal of feeling, understanding and above all dedication. During the whole "wine-making process" so from the vineyard to the cellar & finally into the bottle we only use the most necessary analyses. Also, the time of harvest is not determined by sugar, acid and pH values, but by tasting and observation of the grapes and vines. That’s how we reach the perfect physiological ripeness of our grapes and in order to bring the optimum of diversity, taste and longevity into the bottle of wine of the winery Rainer Wess.
