The Wines of Austria

Austria is best known for its high-quality white wines.

The Wachau region produces exceptional Grüner Veltliner, with flavours of green apple, white pepper, and citrus, complemented by a crisp acidity. Riesling from the Kamptal and Kremstal regions is renowned for its bright acidity, stone fruit, and mineral notes. The Burgenland region is famous for its red wines, particularly Blaufränkisch, which offers dark cherry, blackberry, and spicy characteristics. Austria’s wine regions benefit from a combination of cool climates and diverse soils, producing wines with elegance and complexity.
