Riesling

Riesling, in Austria also Rheinriesling or Weißer Riesling, is a white variety of German origin (VIVC 10077) and one of Austria's most prestigious. In 2020 it covered 2,130 ha, and 1,849 ha of it — nearly nine tenths — are in Lower Austria, on the terraces of the Wachau, Kremstal, Kamptal and Traisental. Austrian Riesling is mostly dry, with stone-fruit and citrus aromas and firm acidity, from light to rich wines that age for decades.
