Austria

Austrian wine, steeped in tradition, is a confluence of rich heritage and innovation. Her wines span a remarkable range of styles, defined by diverse geography and climates of the tiny landlocked country bordered by the Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Italy and Switzerland. The regions of Lower Austria and Burgenland boast most of the vineyards, producing crisp and refreshing whites alongside deeper and more full-bodied reds.

At the helm of Austrian white wines is the characterful Grüner Veltliner - a grape indigenous to Austria. Wines produced from this varietal are beautifully fresh, bursting with lively acidity and fruit-forward flavours, from apple and pear to pronounced citrus notes. They offer excellent versatility in their pairing ability.

Riesling, too, has a prestigious standing among Austrian whites. With its bracing acidity and striking minerality, Austrian Riesling rivals its German and Alsatian counterparts for intensity and complexity, displaying an array of fruit, floral and mineral characteristics.

One cannot speak of Austrian wine without mention of their sensational reds. Primarily, Austria is celebrated for its Zweigelt and Blaufränkisch varietals. Zweigelt wines are brimming with deep cherry notes, approachable tannins, and a hint of spice, making them agreeable on their own, or with food. On the other hand, Blaufränkisch possesses a robust personality with tart red fruit flavours, peppery spice, and firm structure.

Despite the acclaim of Austria’s traditional varietals, the wine industry in Austria continually evolves. An expanding cadre of winemakers are experimenting with international varietals like Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, showcasing Austrian terrain through a new lens.

Austrian wines offer a compelling amalgamation of heritage, diversity, and quality in every glass. Discerning wine enthusiasts often consider them a secret best kept for those in the know. And for those who aren't, Austrian wines make for a delightful discovery. Drinkers may find themselves charmed by the characterful allure of illuminating whites and engaging reds, reflective of Austria's remarkable landscape and centuries-old viticultural history.
