Austrian wine is one of the least exported wines in Europe. Austria has several picturesque wine regions: Lower Austria, with its iconic Wachau and Kamptal appellations, Burgenland, near Lake Neusiedl and famous for its rich red wine, and Styria, with its hillside vineyards producing 'Sauvignon Blanc' grapes. 'Grüner Veltliner', a unique Austrian white grape variety, thrives alongside the aromatic 'Riesling', while red grape varieties such as 'Blaufränkisch' and 'Zweigelt' produce a wide range of styles.
Austria's most famous wine regions
Austria is divided into three main wine regions: Lower Austria (Niederösterreich), Burgenland (Burgenland) and Steiermark (Steiermark).
Lower Austria is the largest wine region. It is subdivided into the appellations of Wachau, Kamptal, Kremstal, Wagram and others. They are renowned for their high quality Grüner Veltliner and Riesling wines. The region has a continental climate with warm summers and cold winters. "Grüner Veltliner from Lower Austria has a fresh acidity, citrus notes and white pepper spiciness.
Burgenland, in south-eastern Austria, has a warmer climate, influenced by the lake Neusiedl. The warmer temperatures favour the production of red wine from the local grape varieties 'Blaufränkisch', 'Zweigelt' and 'St Laurent'. Burgenland reds are typically full-bodied, with dark fruit flavours, velvety tannins and a distinct spiciness. In this region we can also find sweet white wines made from 'Weissburgunder' ('Pinot Blanc'), 'Traminer', 'Scheurebe', 'Chardonnay' and 'Welschriesling'.
Styria is cooler, so the region is known for its expressive, fresh and aromatic white wine made from 'Sauvignon Blanc'. It is characterized by rich acidity and intense notes of citrus fruits, herbs and minerals.
Emmerich Knoll wines ('Weingut Emmerich Knoll', Wachau) are examples of the exceptional quality of Austrian wine and are recognized as one of the best Grüner Veltliner and Riesling wines in Austria. They are renowned for their complexity and longevity. High-quality wines are also produced by Weingut Jurtschitsch from Kamptal and Alois Kracher, who is internationally renowned for his exceptional dessert wines.
Austrian grape varieties
Austria is famous for its indigenous grape varieties, most notably 'Grüner Veltliner' and 'Blaufränkisch'.
Grüner Veltliner is an Austrian white grape variety that produces a fresh, aromatic white wine with flavours of citrus fruits, green apples and white pepper. More mature wines will have a pleasant aroma of honey and toast.
The red grape 'Blaufränkisch' produces a full-bodied wine with dark fruit flavours, often with savoury notes and a firm tannic structure. When young, it is earthy, spicy and more acidic, but it becomes milder as it matures.
Other indigenous varieties, such as 'Zweigelt' and 'St Laurent', also play an important role in Austrian winemaking. The 'Riesling' grape is also widely grown in Austria and can also be found in France (Alsace region) and Germany.
International varieties such as 'Chardonnay' and 'Pinot Noir' are less commonly grown in Austria, but their wines complement the range of Austrian wine.
