Austrian Wine

Austria is located in the heart of Europe and is known for incredibly dry whites of exceptional quality. Lesser known to the United States are Austria’s red wines which range from classic fruity reds to powerful Reserves. In past years, Austrian wines have been lumped in with their neighbors Germany and Alsace, but recently the Austrian Wine industry has taken America by storm, gaining headway with its most popular grape: Grüner Veltliner a.k.a.

In 2008, the country exported more than ever before and is expected to increase steadily for a number of years to come. Austria’s wines are produced in the Weinland Österreich in the far Eastern corner of the country surrounding Vienna and is divided into sixteen key winemaking regions.

  • Leth Gruner Vetliner 2011

    Snoothrank: Starting at $15.99

    The Leth Gruner Veltliner 2010 is a rich Gruner, but also expresses high levels of acid and minerality and lots of fruit.

  • Brundlmayer St. Laurent Ried Ladner 2004

    Snoothrank:

    A rather expressive nose, with earth, leather, drying cherry, plum, and subtle violet notes. Medium-bodied and soft on the palate, with similar notes as the nose.

  • Tegernseerhof Gruner Veltliner T-26 2010

    Snoothrank:

    Classified as Federspiel, this Gruner Veltliner is exceptionally concentrated. Medium-bodied, with citrus, stone fruits, mineral, and clean, zippy acidity.
