Austrian Wine

Lower ABV The best edition of one of our most popular Grüner Veltliner ever. Unlike most Austrian Grüner Veltiner that you’ll see at bargain prices, this isn’t a blend of younger vines or wine from less favored... Read More

Lower ABV This is very high-end Gruner with depth and richness and intensity that lacks only the price of the most famous wines in Austria. From perfectly ripe grapes grown in the famous Wagram Ried Rosenberg vineyard, this is... Read More

One of Austria's most consistently highly-rated Pinot Noirs is also one of the world's finest Pinot Noir values! From Austria's Wagram region and two-time Austrian Winemaker of the Year Anton Bauer, this is 100% Pinot... Read More

Wicked good dry Riesling here from a fine single vineyard in the heart of Austria's Wagram region. Smells great and tastes even better, with bold notes of just squeezed lime, ripe peach, crushed slate and a nice sprinkling... Read More

Tony Bauer is best known here for his whites, but his red wine success (in the very white wine region of Wagram) is one key reason he was Austria's Winemaker of the Year in 2017. This is sort of an Austrian Cotes du Rhone,... Read More

Organic/Bio A blend of Syrah (dark, smoky, black-fruited), Merlot (red currant, plump, lightly herbal) and Zweigelt (juicy red-fruited fun!) all aged in with enough new French oak to give plenty of spicy complexity. Black raspberry... Read More

Lower ABV Another fine vintage for this intensely flavored, rich and zesty, take on Pinot Gris. It's jam-packed with aromas and flavors of spiced pear, golden apple, and ginger and wonderfully rich at just 13.0% alcohol. The... Read More

Lower ABV Leo Hillinger created Secco after an employee discovered she was battling breast cancer, and even today - more than 10 years later - a portion of the proceeds of his Secco sales go to breast cancer research. It's... Read More

Lower ABV Joe and his son Florian craft this cuvee, named for Joe’s daughter, from vines growing on pure, calcium and clay-rich, loess soils on different parts of the Wagram hill. They pick some of these sites early to maximize... Read More

Lower ABV Gloriously dry, crisp, and DRY Riesling. It's full of classic, tangy, Riesling fruit flavors - early season peach, fresh tangerine, lime and lime zest - matched by aromatic fruit blossom and wet river stone minerality.... Read More

Blends 60% Zweigelt, 30% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, all fermented in oak tanks and then aged in French oak barrels. Always one of Austria's very finest red wines. The 2018 has just arrived in the USA and we've... Read More

Organic/BioThere’s plenty of story here, but the bottom line is really simple: this is wildly delicious unoaked Chardonnay that you’ll love drinking and find yourself reaching for again and again. It comes what was... Read More

An outstanding follow-up to the 93 point 2017 edition; although there's a bit more fruit in 2018, the Wine Enthusiast write-up still applies: A lifted, ethereal nose combines plum, floral overtones and graphite. The palate... Read More

Organic/Bio More famous for her rich, award-winning, red wines, Christina Netzl made perhaps her best Gruner Veltliner ever in 2022. It's loaded with classic Gruner ripe apple and yellow stone fruit aromas and flavors, delivered... Read More

Organic/Bio Pinot Blanc is the unsung member of the Pinot family, but that just means it offers exceptional value. Like it’s Burgundy colleague, Chardonnay, grown in the right places, Pinot Blanc has generous body, ripe... Read More

Lower ABV We've carried every vintage of this staggering value Grüner since the then 17 year-old Paul Direder presented us with his inaugural 2008. The 2022 is yet another winner with loads of minerality and fizzing with... Read More

Lower ABV Mathias Ruttenstock is one of the masters of Röschitz, the coolest portion of Austria’s Weinviertel, the world’s best GV growing area that also includes Kamptal, Wagram and Wachau. Mathias is a 4th generation... Read More

The best vintage yet of this very Austrian take on casual red wine to enjoy everyday (think Cotes du Rhone). The father/son team of Ernst and Roland Steindorfer craft this wine from their nicely ripe Burgenland plots of Blaufränkisch... Read More

Expect the unexpected here, starting with the grapes - 30% Sauvignon Blanc and 70% Muskat Ottonel, a Muscat/Chasselas cross created in 1852 to deliver some of Muscat's exotic perfume with a bit less weight. The grapes grow... Read More

The grape here is St Laurent, a native Austrian varietal that probably emerged as a cross of Pinot Noir and another local grape. St Laurent wines are always dark in color and have plenty of structure, but picking ripe and judicious... Read More

Lower ABV You might think “Austria,” “Rosé” and “Cabernet Sauvignon” don’t really come together to create a terrific, beat the heat, rosé. But one taste of this and you’ll... Read More

With a unique combination of freshness and richness, this wine has been our go-to Thanksgiving white recommendation for 12 consecutive years. And the 2021 release is so very, very, delicious that you’ll want to drink it... Read More

Lower ABV For me, this wine has always delivered the essence of Kamptal Gruner Veltiner - a blend of clarity, precision, vibrancy and just a touch of something steely to balance the ripe and generous fruit. Vintage 2021 takes... Read More

Five straight vintages, five straight 93 point ratings (4 from Wine Enthusiast, one from Suckling), and this 2021 will join the parade soon. Once again it lines up nicely against the “big names” of Kamptal like Pichler,... Read More
