Niederösterreich

Niederösterreich (Lower Austria) is Austria's largest wine region, situated in the northeast of the country along the Danube River. The region features diverse terroir across its eight distinct subregions, with Grüner Veltliner being the signature grape variety, alongside Riesling, Zweigelt, and international varieties. Niederösterreich produces primarily crisp, mineral-driven white wines, with the Wachau, Kremstal, and Kamptal subregions particularly renowned for premium quality whites that express their unique terroir.

White

The Pratsch family has been farming organically since the 1990s – long before it was fashionable – and their commitment to sustainable viticulture shines through in this textbook Grüner Veltliner. This is Austria's signature white grape at its most approachable and food-friendly. If you've never experienced Grüner Veltliner before, you're in for a treat. It occupies a perfect middle ground between the citrusy zip of Sauvignon Blanc and the textural weight of Pinot Grigio, with a distinctive peppery note that's entirely its own. Pratsch's organic farming practices and careful winemaking result in a wine that's both refreshingly crisp and subtly complex. It's the kind of versatile white that sommeliers love for its food-pairing prowess – there's a reason it's a staple on restaurant wine lists everywhere.
