Full-bodied dry wine with a firm mineral backbone. 100% Grüner Veltliner. ABV 13.5 % Neumeister Grauburgunder 2013 Austria $20.99 Pinot Gris, barrel fermented, aged on lees Nutty and herbal aroma of pomme fruits and melons with earthy overtones and bread-yeast notes. In the mouth again yeasty-covered, spicy flavors, straight yellow fruit, nutty, caramel and vegetal notes, lively acidity, earthy and mineral notes in the background, sustainable and creamy, attractive to good, just a little rougher finish. ABV 13% Royal Tokaji Furmint 2011 Hungary $15.99 This wine is a pure expression of Furmint’s unique character. The final blend consists of half barrel- fermented and half tank-fermented wine.

Total Acidity 7 g/l Eszterbauer Kadarka Nagayapam 2013 Hungary $15.99 The first moment is intensely fruity and spicy smells, complex and deep, long szippantható. The body is big, strong alcohol, but balanced. Very focused, intensely fruity, long and quite exciting. Sourced from their oldest plots of vineyards it captures the elegance, minerality and refreshment so rare to red wine. Fresh, fruity, spicy and dry, it is totally its own, although one could compare it to some of the more exotic Cabernet Franc-based reds from France’s Loire Valley. 100% Kadarka. ABV 13% Gobelsburger Niederost Zweigelt 2011 Austria $14.99 This wine exudes a shiny ruby red colour with a light violet tone.

Clear, pronounced cherry and blackberry fruit. Dry, with a mild acidity, juicy tannin and tempting to drink. Blaufränkisch that is typical of the region. ABV 13 % Egervin Egri Bikaver Bull’s Blood 2012 Hungary $ 7.99 When the Turks attacked Hungary, the inhabitants showed no fear, and the Turks eventually gave up. Rumors spread the reason for the Hungarian strength was that they mixed the blood of bulls into their red wine. It can be a blend of numerous grapes, predominantly Kadarka and/or Kékfrankos (Blaufränkisch), along with Blauer Portugieser, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Menoire, Pinot Noir, Blauburger and/or Zweigelt. The color is a medium ruby, with aromas of black pepper, fallen leaves, dark fruits, and ripe plum. The acid is high.

Because wine moves through their warehouses quickly, the wines may not be available beyond June 1st… Even if you plan to hold the tasting later on this year, order wines NOW. Earlier this year, the state of Pennsylvania stopped all shipment of wine to residents of the state. See the note on page 16. History, Regions, Wine Making and other Tidbits about the Wines Austria ~ The wines of Austria, a country about the size of Maine, are the most exciting of those produced in central-eastern Europe. Most of them are dry whites along with some stellar reds, all with an uncanny synergy between power and elegance. Wine growing has been traced back to the Celts in the fourth century B.C. followed by the Romans as they expanded their Empire. Although this area of Europe was subject to the shifting of control among many peoples, the production of wine eventually fell to the monks and their monasteries as happened in many parts of Europe. We are fortunate that the spread of Christianity continued the winegrowing industry. In the Middle Ages the total area under vine was close to 10 times what it is today and Austrian wines were widely exported. After World War I, Austria was economically unstable and cheap wine became the order of the day. Handcrafted, quality wines gave way to volume production that served to placate the local population and could be exported to Germany which also suffered economic hardships. The bottom was hit in 1985 when Austrian wines were discovered to contain diethylene glycol, a harmless but illegal additive, contained in antifreeze. It gave cheap plonk more body and a slight sweetness which characterized Austrian wines around the world as shoddy. Eventually the few quality producers rebuilt the wine industry from the ground up and today top-quality wine is a virtual religion with winemakers and viticulturists. Compared to Europe and the rest of the world the wine laws are the strictest and compare closely to German wine law nomenclature. The hierarchy of wine designations is based on the weight of the sugar of the must at the beginning of fermentation. Although the designations are often referred to as levels of “quality”, they actually represent the minimum must weight or ripeness of the grapes at time of harvest.

    1. Vineyard areas and areas under vine by grape variety Austrian Wine statistics report 1.2 Vineyard areas and areas under vine by grape variety 2 The data in this section is based on the 2015 Survey of Area under Vine, as well as feedback from the wine-producing federal states of Niederösterreich (Lower Austria), Burgenland, Steiermark (Styria) and Wien (Vienna). The main source of data for the 2015 Survey of Area under Vine was the Wein-ONLINE system operated by the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, Environment and Water Management (BMNT). Data from the remaining federal states was collected by means of a questionnaire (primary data collection). Information relating to the (approved) nurseries was provided by the Burgenland and Lower Austrian Chambers of Agriculture and the Styrian state government (Agricultural Research Centre). According to the 2015 Survey of Area under Vine, Austria’s vineyards occupied 45,574 hectares. The planted vineyard area was 45,439 ha, which corresponds to 94 ha less (or a 0.2% decrease) in comparison to the 2009 Survey of Area under Vine. The long-running trend that suggested a shift away from white wine and towards red was quashed by the 2015 Survey of Area under Vine. While the white wine vineyard area increased by 2.3% to 30,502 ha compared to 2009, the red wine area decreased by 4.9% to 14,937 ha. Figure 1 shows the evolution of Austrian viticulture after the Second World War. The largest area under vine was recorded in 1980 at 59,432 ha. From 1980 onwards, the white wine vineyard area has continuously decreased, while the red wine vineyard area has expanded.

    Abadal Picapoll 2008 Winery: Bodegas Masies D’Avinyo Region: Pla de Bages D.O. Grapes: 100% Picapoll Winery: Masies D’Avinyo is leading the charge of quality wine production from this, one of the oldest vine growing regions in the world, el Bages, named for Bacchus the Roman god of wine. The vines are cultivated on carefully structured terraces, influenced by a Continental- Mediterranean climate, with low rainfall. This leads to highly structured wines that maintain a freshness and delicacy rarely found in such rich wines. Vineyards are planted with native and French grapes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay and Mando and Picapoll. A strong technical background is used in vineyard management, for example, specific total leaf area per mass of grapes to assure ripeness. This is combined with a detailed interaction with each vintage. In warm vintages, new oak is purchased with lower levels of toast, in cooler vintages barrels with higher levels of toast are used. A combination of French, Hungarian and American oak is used in aging the wines. Wine: This wine issues from a regeneration of indigenous and autochthonous grapes lead by Masies d’Avinyo in Pla de Bages. Picapoll, Trepat, Sumoll and other local grapes are being replanted or grafted to existing root- stocks. While often confused with Picpoul, this grape has been grown in the area since Roman times, being referenced in the writings of Pliny the Elder. Picapoll berries are small, oval and thick-skinned; though there are larger berried clones used as a table grape. The grape requires a lot of attention in the vineyard as bunches tend to grow smaller, “shoulder” clusters which need to be pruned off for proper ripening.

The regulations are particularly severe for wine and include various aspects of the viticulture practices and winemaking techniques. Nevertheless, the use of phenolic profiles for quality control is still fragmented and incomplete, even if they are a promising tool for quality evaluation. Only a few methods have been already validated and widely applied, and an integrated approach is in fact still missing because of the complex dependence of the chemical profile of wine on many viticultural and enological factors, which have not been clarified yet. For example, there is a lack of studies about the phenolic composition in relation to the wine authenticity of white and especially rosé wines. This review is a bibliographic account on the approaches based on phenolic species that have been developed for the evaluation of wine quality and frauds, from the grape varieties (of V.

  • Austrian Wine Report
    ANNEX 5 REPORT: PRODUCTION AND CONTROL OF WINE IN AUSTRIA Lehr- und Forschungszentrum für Wein- und Obstbau (Education and Research Institute for Viticulture and Pomology) A-3400 Klosterneuburg Wiener Strasse 74 written by HR Dr. Reinhard EDER [email protected] Klosterneuburg, September 2010 Wine country Austria Austria is a small wine country with around 50.000 hectares (ha) of viticulture, which account for around 1 % of vineyards in Europe (5.5 million hectare) respectively 0.7 % of the vineyard area of the world (7.4 million ha). From these vineyards around 250 million litre of wine are produced annually, which correspond to around 1.3 % of wine production in Europe and around 1 % of the world wide production of wine. Interestingly the consumption of wine in Austria is equal to the production of wine, nevertheless around 80 million litre of mainly red wine are imported and around 80 million litres, mainly white wine, are exported. The biggest wine importing countries are Italy (around 60 %), Spain (around 15 %), new world countries (Australia, Chile ... around 10 %), France (around 5 %) and others. The most important export markets are Germany (around 50 %), Scandinavian countries (Norway, Sweden ... around 10 %), USA (around 10 %), eastern European countries (Russia, Czech Republic ... around 10 %) and others like Japan, Great Britain and Switzerland. The wine consumption per head is quite stable over the years and lays around 30 litre per year. Contrary to the amount the place of wine consumption has changed within the last years strongly with an increase of consumption at home (around 45 %) at the expense of outdoor consumption in restaurants, festivals, markets and so on (around 50 %).
