Austrian Wine - The Best Wines From Austria

Austrian wine is probably best known for the white grape, Gruner Veltliner, as well as its excellent Riesling, but this region also has its fair share of tasty red varieties that you've likely never heard of: Saint Laurent, Blaufrankisch, and Zweigelt to name just a few. It also has a few unique names for a few well known varieties like Blauburgunder (Pinot Noir) and Weissburgunder (Pinot Blanc).

Once known primarily for their sweet wines, the region is more and more producing excellent dry wines. Much of the wine country is influenced by the Danube River and a few of the more acclaimed regions to look for on labels are Wachau, Kremstal and Kamptal.

This is a fabulous region for Reverse Wine Snobs to explore and so we encourage you to do just that!
