Austria’s special geographic setting is the most im- portant factor for the exceptional quality of its wines. Although Austria is at the same latitude as Burgundy, it is much more centrally located within Europe. It is consequently in the transitional zone between the mild and damp Atlantic climate, and the continental Pan- nonian one, which has much wider variations in tem- perature. Warm, sunny summer and autumn days with northerly, cool nights are key to the development of fresh, aromatic wines with good body and fine charac- ter. There is simply no other place on earth where the refreshing wines are so concentrated, or where opulent
