Austrian Wine
Austria has been producing wine for over 2000 years. Roman cellars, medieval villages, baroque monasteries and castles are all part of the typical landscape of the wine-growing regions. Family-run estates dominate the Austrian viticulture scene, and this has brought with it a great respect for the land.
Austrian wines have a freshness and concentration to their wines which is due their climate. Summer and autumn are characterised by warm, sunny days and cool nights with northerly winds, which is the key factor for the development of aromatic wines that combine freshness, a good body and subtle herbaceaous complexity. There is a distinctly Austrian character to their refreshing whites with such a concentrated flavour, or dense red wines with such a light-footed character.
