i. Biography
Michael Edlmoser works at the point where cellar work and Heuriger service overlap: winemaking and house operation are managed under the same roof at Edlmoser Weingut & Heuriger in Mauer, Vienna, Austria. That setup asks for two disciplines at once, with wine made in step with a dining room that is part of Vienna’s living Heuriger tradition and part of the family business above the door.
Coming Up
Today, Michael Edlmoser is Miteigentümer and Önologe of Weingut Heuriger Edlmoser GmbH. The role is compact but demanding. As miteigentümer and önologe, he carries responsibility for production decisions and for the running of a place that has to hold its standards in both the cellar and the service room. The work is hands-on, measured, and tied to the scale of an estate where small decisions shape both the wine and the guest experience.
Where They Are Now
He serves as the winemaker and Heuriger operator at Edlmoser Weingut & Heuriger in Mauer, Vienna, Austria. That means the estate is managed as a single working system: what happens in the cellar affects what reaches the table, and the rhythm of the house shapes how the place is maintained from day to day. The job requires steady oversight rather than spectacle. Wine production, house character, and service pace all sit inside the same operation, and Michael’s work is to keep those parts aligned.
Signature
Michael's signature dishes include VERTIGO 2024, VERTIGO 2015, Ried Saetzen, Riesling Ried Saetzen Maurerberg 2022, and Kalkstein. Read together, those names point to a house style built on consistency, vineyard reference, and clear vintage marking. VERTIGO 2024 and VERTIGO 2015 show the same name carried across different years, while Ried Saetzen – Maurerberg 1ÖTW Riesling Kalkstein 2020 and Riesling Ried Saetzen Maurerberg 2022 keep the focus on Riesling and place. Kalkstein rounds out the set with a label that stays direct and plain.
Honors
Michael's honors include Viktoria und Michael Edlmoser sind Österreichs Heurigenwirte des Jahres, Hall of Fame – 5 Kronen in Österreich, Platz 1 und 2 bei der VINARIA Wiener Gemischter Satz Verkostung, Platz 3 bei der VINARIA Premium Riesling Verkostung Österreich, Sortenbester Syrah Österreichs, and Bester Riesling Österreichs. The awards cover both the Heuriger side and the wine side of the operation, with recognition in tastings, varietal categories, and the broader standing of the house. Taken together, they mark a body of work that has been repeatedly judged against the field and placed near the top.
