Austrian Wines | KW Selection

Grapes

Varieties of place.

The grapes that define Austria, and the producers in our book who shape them best.

WHITE

Grüner Veltliner

Austria’s signature variety. Peppery, citrus, mineral.

Pairs with

Wiener Schnitzel: the pepper and citrus cut through the fried crust.

WHITE

Riesling

Stone-fruit precision from terraced Wachau slopes.

Pairs with

Pan-fried trout or char: the acidity matches lake and river fish.

RED

Blaufränkisch

Spicy, structured red from Burgenland and Mittelburgenland.

Pairs with

Tafelspitz with apple-horseradish: enough structure for boiled beef.

RED

Zweigelt

Bright, cherry-driven red. Austria’s most-planted variety.

Pairs with

Vegetarian dishes built on seasonal vegetables and herbs.

RED

Sankt Laurent

Elegant, Pinot-adjacent reds with soft tannin.

Pairs with

Slow-braised winter roasts: soft tannin suits long-cooked meat.

WHITE

Sauvignon Blanc

Styrian classic. Vibrant, herbaceous, focused.

Pairs with

Zander or catfish with fresh herbs: a bright, herbaceous match.

Our book
