Most people know classic white wines such as Grüner Veltliner, Riesling, Welschriesling, Chardonnay, Pinot blanc, Red Muscat, Traminer and the time-honoured Gemischter Satz, but classic red wines such as Zweigelt and Blaufränkisch, not to mention a wide range of rosés, are also on everybody’s lips these days (quite literally!). Connoisseurs will also round off a fine meal or celebration with a dessert wine or sweet wines such as late harvest Spätlese, selected ‘dried berries’ Trockenbeerenauslese (TBA) or ice wine. Austria’s wine culture has the just the right wine for every taste and every occasion, and our online wine website is equally well stocked.

Those wishing to investigate the wines in closer detail, and explore the fine differences in flavour, should be guided by Austria’s classic wine-growing areas: the country’s whites, reds and sweet wines are all made differently according to their region. Taste and test the wide variety of wines from such diverse terroirs as the Weinviertel wine district, the Kamptal , the Thermenregion, the Neusiedlersee area on the shores of Lake Neusiedl, the Burgenland, and Lower Austria, not to mention Vienna, of course. Try out these regional specialities and surprise yourself and your guests with their refined nuances.
