Ingredients (to serve 4) The original Viennese veal escalope is traditionally deep fried in pork lard, and this crispy breadcrumbs demands a structured, crisp wine. q 4 veal schnitzel The original Viennese “Schnitzel” escalope derives from the Costoletta alla Milanese in Lombar- (escalopes) dy. The veal meat is usually cut from the fillet end of the leg, and is fried in pork lard, rather than each approx. 140g butter. The lard gives the dish its unique taste and is highly resistant to heat, that incidentally q 60g wheat flour produces little trans fats. Veal “Schnitzel” that is deep fried in butter fat have an individual, quite q 2 eggs intense taste. The taste is more neutral when using sunflower or olive oil. q 80g breadcrumbs Method: Beat the veal to approximately 4-6 mm, and add salt to both sides. Remove the skins, q 200g lard as to avoid it crinkling during frying. Place three soup bowls next to each other, and put the flour q salt into the first. Whisk the egg white and yolk from two eggs into the second bowl and place the breadcrumbs into the third. Breadcrumbs: Dip both sides of the escalope into the flour, and beat gently, as only to leave a very thin layer of flour. Then dip both sides of the escalope into the egg mixture, and allow the excess mixture to drip off before doing the same with the third bowl of breadcrumbs, and gently dry. Brush off excess breadcrumbs. The escalope is now ready to fry. Frying: Heat a 2-3 centimetre thick piece of lard in a large, flat frying pan. The temperature is very important, and if the lard fails to reach the desired temperature, the breadcrumbs will be fatty and soggy, and if the fat is too hot, then the breadcrumbs will burn. Lay the prepared escalopes next to each other into the hot lard and fry each side for approximately 1½ – 2 minutes. Gently toss the pan, so that the escalopes swim in the fat and the breadcrumbs and rises. Serving: Remove the crisply browned escalopes from the pan and dab dry with kitchen roll, and place them onto a warmed plate. (Note that a dripping Viennese escalope is a sacrilege! Serve with a wedge of fresh lemon and ideally parsley potatoes. A salad is obligatory, the Viennese cold potato salad with lettuce or mixed leaf salad. 13 Gasthaus Martin Weiler

Already 1,500 years ago, St Benedict of Norcia, the founding father of our order, thought it natural to provide hospitality to visitors. In his Rule, written in Monte Cassino, Italy, St Benedict placed great emphasis on the well-being of guests, thus laying the foundations for the proverbial ‘Benedictine hospitality. In 1083, Bishop Altmann of Passau founded our monastery, a spiritual centre that shines in the region. More than 900 years of monastic history have left visible traces that are fascinating even to us, humans of the 21st century. May the Word of God be your guide throughout your life and His mercy always be with you.

This fruitful interplay of the spiritual and the secular lends the Abbey of Klosterneuburg its own unmistakable flair–a flair which visitors from around the world sense on attractive thematic tours. Visitors are escorted, with the help of a well-developed infrastructure, from the monastery’s own underground garage to the culinary conclusion of a visit at the estate’s wine shop, the »Vi- nothek«, or at the »Stiftscafé«, »Café Escorial« or the restaurant »Gastmeisterei«.
Whether it is cultural, social or business-related, every event at Klosterneuburg will be a memorable one thanks to the unique atmosphere. We invite you to come by for a visit in order to select the most suitable venue for your event. The Abbey of Klosterneuburg is a fascinating world, one that deserves to be discovered.
In the entire German-speaking world, there is no other place where the spiritual life and the secular are as closely intertwined as they are here.
This close relationship has a long tradition–the Abbey of Kloster- neuburg has been home to a religious order, the Canons Regular of Saint Augustine, for about 900 years and has also served as an Contact: imperial residence. And the tradition continues: the monastery is Stift Klosterneuburg simultaneously a place of living faith, the home of unique artistic Stiftsplatz 1, A-3400 Klosterneuburg treasures, and a producer of fine wines.

103 The Austrian Vintage 2010
The Austrian Vintage 2010: consumption average - approximately 2.5 million hectoliters. A Happy Ending with Small Quantities Although not every grape variety suffered yield loss, Austria‘s leading white variety, Grüner Veltliner, was considerably affected. Also other varieties such as Chardonnay, Traminer and St. Laurent yielded lower quantities. But again, the different wine-growing areas must be considered: in Steiermark (Styria), for example, harvest totals were down by only around 12%, while other areas had 40% losses because of bad weather conditions.
No Disadvantages Without Advantages After the rather unsteady flowering period, there was a decep- tive stretch of heat in July. But this was all too quickly replaced The 2010 vintage was defined by unusually difficult weather by a cool, rainy August and a September that showed few signs conditions, with low grape yields the result.

Yet, despite the relatively high harvest quantities - which filled up nearly empty stocks – scepticism about the results of such a labour-intensive vintage developed. But after the first tasting of the young wines, vintners’ moods were completely uplifted. Through their focused quality-oriented work, wines of fruitiness and panache from a wide range of ripeness levels were produced. After fall 2008, even the most optimistic did not expect such gratifying results!

phase typical and continuously developing varietal characteristics Multi-faceted Veltliners, fruity Rieslings, attractive Burgundies – something that was not evident in other late vintages such as Austria’s flagship variety, Grüner Veltliner, shows again this year 2004 and 1998. Because of the 2008 vintage’s long vegetation its astounding range of quality and maturation levels.

For lovers of Grüner Veltliner, there are many variants available – enough to satisfy even the highest of expectations.
It is a bit more complicated for the very late harvested and tradi- tionally slow-ripening Rieslings. But they do feature that highly desirable stone fruit, and the racy acidity structure as well as the occasional touch of Botrytis proves to be no problem for this varietal.
Surprisingly, the Burgundy varietal wines are showing impressi- ve success. This is true especially with those from the northern Burgenland, where necessary ripeness is rarely difficult to achieve. Also an attractive acidity structure has helped to solidify the important consistency and firmness of the wines. 109 The Austrian Vintage 2008
The south as beneficiary A Sweet and even Icy Finale After having an outstanding 2007 vintage - which is showing The clean, late-setting Botrytis that appeared in the 2008 vintage to be more multi-layered than the 2006 - the Steiermark is now made for high-quality and especially aromatic Spätlesen and expecting its white wines from 2008 to be well above average Auslesen wines.

Traminers and ideal Sauvignons - which show the perfect mix of This was indeed a frosty but conciliatory farewell to a challenging piquant spiciness and deep, yellow fruit - are showing beautiful vintage. results. Therefore, it is expected that the Styrian winegrowing areas will be presenting the most structured white wines of the vintage.
The Red 2008s: slender and with fine fruitiness The difficult weather conditions during 2008 marked also the character of the red wines. Fruit-toned but gently smooth red wines are expected – many with certain nervousness and that show more body and extract than those from the 2005 vinta- ge. It remains to be seen whether or not there will be top wines reaching the power of 2006 or the elegance of 2007. Overall, slender, red berry-toned wines are a sure thing, with the early ri- pening varietals showing favour. Also, the Zweigelt, Blaufränkisch, St.Laurent and Pinot Noir varietals are leaning towards a slender, fine blossomy character. www. facebook.at/oesterreichwein www. facebook.com/austrianwine
