Austria as a wine-growing country

Austria's climate is characterised by continental influences, with cold winters, warm summers and sufficient rainfall, which leads to a long ripening period and a high concentration of fruit in the grapes.

Wine regions in Austria

The quality pyramid of Austrian wines is organised as follows:

At the top are the wines labelled „DAC“ (Districtus Austriae Controllatus), which must fulfil the strictest quality criteria and are typical of their region of origin.
Below these are the quality wines, which receive a state test number seal after testing the sensory and chemical parameters.
This is followed by the country wines, which also have to fulfil certain quality requirements, but meet less stringent criteria.
Finally, there are table wines, which do not have to fulfil any particular geographical or quality requirements.

Winemakers from Austria

Franz Hirtzberger Winery

The Hirtzberger family has been producing wines in Spitz in the Wachau for five generations. The Grand Cru from the Singerriedel, Hochrain and Honigvogl vineyards are among the best that Austrian viticulture has to offer.

Malat Winery

The history of the Malat winery in Kremstal dates back to the 18th century. This means almost 300 years of wine knowledge, from which Michael Malat still benefits today: "Because every vintage is different, there is no recipe. When it comes to upcoming decisions, the experiences of the predecessors are very helpful. Maybe someone had a similar situation, tried something - and the result is handed down."

Prager

Even the first documentary mention of the building that today belongs to the Prager Winery in Weissenkrichen refers to Riesling as a central grape variety of the Wachau - and that was in 1302: "am chling im ritzling gelegen, dem kloster michaelbeuern, gehörig, mit der schiffmühle in pertinenz ..."

Family Winery Tement

The Tement family winery is located both in Styria and on the Slovenian side. But there is a common idea for both parts: father Manfred Tement and his sons Armin and Stefan are concerned with clearly bringing out the differences of each site.

Domäne Wachau

If you are looking for co-operatives in Germany that can claim to have changed the world of wine, you really do have to search for a long time. In neighbouring Austria, we can find them more quickly. Today we present Domäne Wachau from neighbouring Austria.

Stiegelmar Winery

The Stiegelmar Winery is located in Gols, on the north-eastern shore of Lake Neusiedl. Founded three generations ago (1956), it is now run by Jürgen and Andrea Stiegelmar.

Gross Winery

In the midst of the charming hilly landscape of southern Styria, on the slopes of the Ried Nussberg, lies the Gross Winery. Martina and Johannes Gross are the sixth generation to steer the fortunes of this renowned traditional winery. They strive to express the special characteristics of the vineyard, grape variety and vintage in the best possible way.

Paul Achs Winery

Since 1664, everything in the Achs family has revolved around viticulture. Since 1990, Paul Achs Junior has been running the winery on the northern shores of Lake Neusiedl and has expanded it from 12 to 25 hectares of cultivated land. The vineyards are located around Gols and are spread over 40 parcels of land whose very different potential is consistently exploited.
