18.11.26: Great wines from the best vineyards in Styria to taste

Styria is Austria's most mountainous wine-growing region. Steep slopes, a Mediterranean climate with abundant sunshine, high rainfall, and significant temperature variations between day and night, as well as the meticulous manual labor in the vineyards, characterize Styrian viticulture. The region is divided into three wine-growing areas: Southern Styria DAC, Vulkanland Styria DAC, and Western Styria DAC, each distinguished by its unique soils, landscapes, and climatic conditions. DAC stands for Districtus Austriae Controllatus and designates regionally typical quality wines with protected designation of origin.

This diversity is particularly evident in the single-vineyard wines (Riede in Austria refers to vineyard site). These wines represent the pinnacle of Styria's origin pyramid and express the unique characteristics of their respective terroir with exceptional precision. At the presentation in Palais Ferstel, more than 50 single-vineyard wines from the three Styrian wine-growing regions can be tasted and compared.

Thus, there is a great deal of exciting things to taste, compare, classify, weigh up, and discuss at a high level, such as origin, vintage characteristics, content and depth, the winemaker's signature, and much more – in short, the entire Styrian wine culture.

Guided Wine Walks

Guided wine walks are also offered. These take place at 4 pm for trade visitors and at 6 pm and 7 pm for private wine enthusiasts.

Large sect of Styria

In addition to single-vineyard wines, Styrian sparkling wines are given their own stage. At the Sekt Austria Steiermark gU bar, wines from the Reserve and Grand Reserve categories are presented.

Wine bar featuring the top-rated wines from VINARIA

Another tasting bar presents the top-rated Styrian single-vineyard wines from the latest tasting and evaluation by the trade magazine VINARIA, which are being

published concurrently. Under the motto "Single-vineyard wines as celebratory wines," visitors can discover characterful wines with aging potential, also suitable as companions for festive occasions.
