Austria
Though well-known for its skiing in the Alps, Austria is increasingly becoming known for its quality wine regions in the warmer north east region of the country. It has one of the most innovative and dynamic wine industries in Europe. Only 35 grape varieties are permitted to be grown in the country, which focusses mainly on whites made from Gruner Veltliner and Riesling as well as reds made from Blaufrankisch, Zweigelt and, Saint-Laurent
Gruner Veltliner is considered the country’s signature grape variety, which is typically produced in a crisp, spicy style. Classic wines show citrus aromas (lemon peel and grapefruit) complemented by fresh vegetal notes and the variety’s trademark hint of white pepper.

Zahel Gruner Veltliner Goldberg 2023
2023 Grüner Veltliner “Ried Goldberg”. The word “Ried” refers to a natural area, usually created in the former floodplain of a river that, in this case it, denotes a single vineyard sourcing. The Goldberg vineyard is located in the south-eastern most wine growing region of Vienna. It is cultivated organically with adherence to biodynamic principles. Expect a wine with light green reflections in the glass showing aromas of white flowers, melon, green apples and white pepper. On the palate, the wine is crisp with juicy pineapple and citrus notes and a very lively, fresh acidity. A great spring and summer white.
