Austria

Austria has undergone a vinous revolution over the last 20 years. Its famous Zeigelt red grapes produce soft and fruity easy-drinking wines, while the esteemed black Blaufraukisch produces spicy wines with bigger tannins. The Burgenlang and St Laurent areas in particular produce lighter, more fragrant wines, similar to Pinot Noir. Austrian reds are very fresh, great for drinking with meals and perfect for those who like Burgundy, Loire or Rhone wines.
