  • Austrian Wines AUSTRIAN WINE with ASIAN Cuisines Discover Europe’S Best Kept Secret!
    guide to AustriAn Wines AUSTRIAN WINE WITH ASIAN CUISINES Discover EuRope’S Best Kept Secret! Austria is home to some of the most famous musicians in the world: Mozart, Schubert, Strauss, Liszt and others. It also offers a rich cultural heritage, the Imperial Palace in Vienna, palaces and castles around the country – all situated in one of the cleanest environments that also has the clearest waters, right in the centre of Europe. Welcome to Austria! We would like to invite you to Austria, enjoy our culture and relax in the city or in the mountains. Austria can offer so much. We are especially proud of our wine industry, which has more than a few thousand years of history. Today, it is also one of the most dynamic wine industries in the world. Situated at the same latitude as Burgundy in France (47-48°north) we are able to produce one of the finest white and most elegant red wines of the world. Besides international grape varieties such as Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and more… we are also extremely proud of our own indigenous varieties – Grüner Veltliner, Riesling, Rotgipfler, Zweigelt, St. Laurent and Blaufränkisch. Due to our climate and the varieties, our wines are amazing food companions with many dishes. This includes classical European cuisine as well as most of the Asian dishes, whether from China, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia or other countries in the region. Many restaurants in Singapore have discovered these unique wines and have introduced a good range of our national treasures in their wine lists.
