History of Weingut Leitner and Pannobile cuvée

Weingut Leitner, located in Gols on Lake Neusiedl (Burgenland), is headed by Gernot Leitner, the heir to a generation-long winemaking tradition. Since 1975, Melitta and Matthias Leitner have expanded the estate with a focus on quality. Since 2010, Gernot has continued this philosophy with natural cultivation and a dedication to terroir-oriented wines. The Pannobile cuvée is a prestigious collaboration between several top wineries in the region and is produced exclusively from select plots such as Ungerberg and Salzberg.

about Pannobile

Pannobile is a quality label of nine top winemakers from Gols, Burgenland (Austria), who have been collaborating since 1994 to create elegant, terroir-driven wines. The name refers to the Pannonian Plain and the noble character of their wines. Pannobile is not an official wine classification, but a strictly selected cuvée approved annually through blind tastings. Red Pannobile wines are made from Blaufränkisch, Zweigelt, and St. Laurent; white versions are made from Weissburgunder, Chardonnay, and local grapes. These Austrian quality wines are typically aged in oak and combine structure with finesse. Pannobile is synonymous with craftsmanship, provenance, and collaboration in Burgenland's finest terroirs.
