Ludwig Neumayer

The Path

Continuity is part of the method at Weingut Ludwig Neumayer, where Ludwig Neumayer has held the winemaker role since 1980. That long run has kept the work focused on site, with attention directed toward the vineyards and what they can give in a given season. The result is a practice that reads as disciplined and direct, with the land as the governing reference.

The Work Today

The present tense of the cellar is white wine, especially Grüner Veltliner and Riesling. Ludwig Neumayer’s approach is defined by clarity and restraint, with each wine built to register the meeting of grape and terrain. The emphasis is on balance and articulation, so the finished wines carry texture and brightness without losing their sense of shape.

Signature

Ludwig's signature wines include Der Wein vom Stein, Steinkapelle Riesling, Zwirch, Rothenbart, and Rafasetzen. Read together, these labels point to the style at work: site-led wines that put stone, place, and quiet intensity ahead of ornament. The portfolio is measured in tone, with texture and minerality given equal weight to aroma and fruit.

In Their Words “My wines are meant to bring drinking pleasure - as stimulating companions to fine cuisine or concentrated on their own.” “My craft is a game with nature: stony limestone terroir shapes my wines.”
