After multiple trips to Austrian wine regions (including Burgenland<\/a><\/strong> Dom\u00e4ne Wachau<\/strong><\/a>, and the heart of Sekt country<\/strong><\/a>), one of the things I\u2019m struck by is how delicious, yet under the radar some of the country\u2019s indigenous varietals are. Of course many of us know and love Gr\u00fcner Veltliner, which is practically synonymous with Austria. Gr\u00fcner may pop up in other places here and there, but there is nothing like Austrian Gr\u00fcner Veltliner. The razor-sharp acidity, lemon-lime and white pepper are notable characteristics of Austria\u2019s signature variety. But there is more to the story than Gr\u00fcner. I\u2019ve been fortunate to drink a variety of unique Austrian wines that are worth seeking out. So when you\u2019re ready to mix things up a bit, give some love to these Austrian indigenous wines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I first had Rotgipfler during a visit to Austria\u2019s Thermenregion and so enjoyed learning about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
