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.
