Austria
Austrian wine is characterized by its elegance and purity, with a focus on quality over quantity. Grapes like Grüner Veltliner and Riesling thrive in the cool climate, producing crisp whites known for their vibrant acidity and minerality. The country's red wines, such as Blaufränkisch and Zweigelt, offer a balance of fruitiness and spice, showcasing Austria's diverse winemaking regions from Burgenland to Styria.
