Heunisch & Erben

Heunisch & Erben opened in Landstraße in 2017, a wine bar and small-plates kitchen built around what the team has spent two decades collecting: an Austrian-focused cellar of roughly 3,000 references, deep verticals on Wachau Smaragd and Burgenland natural growers, and the kind of Sturm-and-Drang attitude to what counts as wine that the natural-wine register made commercially viable. The kitchen plates work as wine accessories, a Bündner Fleisch with horseradish, fermented Salzburg Pinzgauer beef, oysters with Riesling, rather than as a full restaurant menu. Forty seats, open until late, the staff bookable at the bar for tastings off the list. The Landstraße location keeps it slightly off the central-Vienna tourist trail.
