Falstaff Magazine calls the roll-Giants of Austria's wine-scene
Kellerberg, Singerriedel, Salzberg, Admiral and Steinzeiler... these are the names of the grands crus that quicken the pulse of all who love Austrian wine. Great wines, created by the most talented of the growers in the land. It was and still is these exceptional men and women who provide the foundation upon which Austrian viticulture has been built.
Chardonnay Gloria 2010 is listed among the Top 10 white wines, while Blaufränkisch Point 2009 ranks among the Top 10 red wines.
WeinPur picks the best Sauvignon Blancs!
... terrifically precise. Snappy; elegantly radiant with a cool piquancy...
—pure Sauvignon Blanc pleasure—but please decant!
