Nestled between the Alps, the Adriatic Sea, and Pannonia, Austria is an incredibly exciting wine country. Long gone are the days of the glycol scandal; today, Austrian winemakers are fully committed to sustainable cultivation, a love for their region, and an uncompromising dedication to quality and complexity. The result is a wine region that competes with the giants of Germany, France, and Italy in the very top tier.
Austrian wine offers its connoisseurs quite a lot: The Rieslings and Grüner Veltliners of the Wachau impress with elegance and complexity, the South Styrian Sauvignon Blancs are multi-layered and nuanced in their interplay of acidity and light minerality, and Burgenland offers mineral-powerful red wines, such as the Blaufränkisch or the Blaufränkisch.
