James Suckling – “Eye-poppingly fresh nose of ferns and savory notes with underlying, lemony fruit. Very tightly wound and energetic, this is a radically racy dry riesling for Austria. Very long, whiplash finish that will either turn you off or drive you wild, like us. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.” Stuart Pigott, jamessuckling.com

James Suckling – Very striking nose of mango chutney, burnt sage and cooked lentils. The hint of leesy funk blows off quickly. This wine is all about textural and chalky complexity and not at all about fruit. Tons of structure, but the creamy candied-citrus character is very nicely wrapped around this. Very serious, long finish.

Robert Parker/Wine Advocate – Whole-cluster pressed and fermented in 300-liter oak barrels, the 2020 Grüner Veltliner Ried Lamm 1ÖTW shows an attractive reduction with floral, wax and ripe and intense fruit and tea aromas. Smoky or toasty on the palate, with fumé aromas, this is an elegant, refined and persistently salty Veltliner with fine grip and a long, complex finish. This is one of the most Burgundian Veltliners from the Danube.

Austrian wine is an embodiment of the country's rich viticulture heritage that extends back for centuries. Nestled in the heart of Europe, Austria's vineyards benefit from unique terroirs and a climate conducive to winemaking. These wines often carry a signature freshness and purity of fruit. The Austrian wine industry focuses on quality over quantity, making every bottle a testament to meticulous craftsmanship and a deep respect for nature. With diverse grape varieties cultivated, Austria offers a kaleidoscope of wine experiences awaiting discovery.
Austria's wine scene may be compact, but it's bursting with flavors and famed varieties. Grüner Veltliner is undoubtedly the star, accounting for nearly a third of the country's vineyards. This indigenous grape delivers wines with characteristic white pepper notes and a tantalizing zestiness. Riesling is another popular white, often grown on the steep slopes of Wachau and exuding mineral-rich flavors. On the red front, Zweigelt and Blaufränkisch lead the way, captivating palates with their deep colors and intricate taste profiles.
Diversity is at the heart of Austrian wines. While white wines dominate, there are still a plethora of choices to explore. Key white grape varieties include Grüner Veltliner, Riesling, and Weißburgunder (Pinot Blanc). Among reds, Zweigelt reigns supreme, followed closely by Blaufränkisch and St. Laurent. Austria also boasts of sweet wines, notably from regions like Burgenland, where the noble rot bestows grapes with a dense, honeyed character, resulting in remarkable dessert wines.
The mineral-laden Rieslings and expressive Grüner Veltliners from Wachau often find themselves at the top of critics' lists. The reds of Burgenland, particularly those made from Blaufränkisch, are known for their depth and complexity. The sweet wines, like the Trockenbeerenauslese from Neusiedlersee, are treasures in the dessert wine world, celebrated for their richness and longevity.
Austrian wines are as versatile in pairings as they are in flavor profiles. Grüner Veltliner, with its crisp acidity, is a perfect match for light dishes, such as seafood or salads. Rieslings, especially those with a touch of sweetness, complement spicy Asian cuisines. The robust reds, like Blaufränkisch or Zweigelt, are ideal for heartier meals, including grilled meats or traditional Austrian dishes like Wiener Schnitzel. And for those sweet wine treasures? They're sublime with blue cheeses or fruit-based desserts.
