REGION
Lower Austria
Austria
Lower Austria is the largest and most diverse wine region in Austria, producing over 60% of the national output from around 27,000 hectares of vines. Backing onto Vienna and crossed by the Danube, the region is divided into eight distinct appellations, each shaped by its own geology and microclimates. The Wachau, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is the most iconic: its terraces of ancient rock overlooking the river give Grüner Veltliner and Riesling of incomparable precision and minerality. Kamptal, Kremstal and Traisental carry on this excellence in white wines, in river valleys with loess and sandstone soils. Further north, the vast Weinviertel, the birthplace of Grüner Veltliner, offers bright, peppery wines that are often remarkable value. To the southeast, Carnuntum and the Thermenregion, under a warmer Pannonian influence, shine more with reds. This is a region for lovers of great terroir driven whites, rooted in a winemaking tradition that goes back to Roman times.
