Austria has three major wine growing regions as you can see in Austria wine map: Niederoesterreich (Lower Austria), Burgenland and Steiermark (Styria). In addition, it has 16 smaller wine regions, including Wien (Vienna). Austrian wines can be classified as DAC (= Districtur Austriae Controllatus; Latin for Controlled District of Austria) which is the legal abbreviation for special region-typical quality wines. Niederoesterreich is the largest wine growing area in Austria and it consists of eight wine growing regions. It has three major climatic zones: the Weinviertel in the north, the region along the river Danube, and the warmer Pannonian part in the south-east of Niederoesterreich. In addition to the flagship wines Gruener Veltliner, which makes up 44 % of the wine production, and Riesling, Niederoesterreich also offers a wide range of different wine varieties, including fresh, aromatic white wines and fruit-driven red wines as well as dessert wines.

Burgenland wine growing area, which is dominated by the hot, continental Pannonian climate, is divided into four regions as its shown in Austria wine map. It is specifically known for its Blaufraenkisch and Blauer Zweigelt red wines but also for the Beerenauslese and Trockenbeerenauslese dessert wines, including the legendary Ruster Ausbruch. Steiermark is known for the fresh and elegant style of region-typical wines and its most abundant wine Welschriesling. All three Styrian wine growing regions offer their own local specialty. In the west, the Schilcher Rosé dominates while Sauvignon Blanc and Gelber Muskateller are typical for the south and the south-east traditionally produces Traminer. „Junker“ wines are young wines that debut during the first week of November. In spring, following the harvest, “Klassik” wines are produced that are traditionally dry. Wine lovers have to be patient for the “Lagen” wines which are dry, full-bodied and produced from very ripe grapes from established single-vineyards.

Vienna has 1,574 acres of vineyard and its own DAC for Wiener Gemischter Satz, or Viennese Field Blend. These are mixed white grapes like Grüner and Roter Veltliner, Riesling, Traminer and others. Here they are grown, harvested and fermented together to create refreshing, aromatic styles. Varietal Riesling, Grüner and Pinot Noir bottlings are also made here. South of Vienna, the Thermenregion is home to two of Austria most unusual indigenous grape varieties: Zierfandler, with pronounced texture and freshness, and aromatic Rotgipfler as its mentioned in Austria wine map. They are often blended to make a truly unique, full-bodied, aromatic white. For reds, St. Laurent, an indigenous grape, and Pinot Noir find great expression here.
