Wine from Weinviertel
Filter
The Weinviertel is a prominent wine region located in the northeastern part of Austria, known for its wine production. This region is situated in the federal state of Lower Austria (Niederösterreich) and is the country's largest wine-growing area. The name "Weinviertel" translates to "wine quarter," reflecting its significance in Austrian winemaking.
Here are some key features and aspects of the Weinviertel wine region:
Grüner Veltliner: The Weinviertel is particularly renowned for its production of Grüner Veltliner, a white wine grape variety that thrives in the region's climate and soil. Grüner Veltliner wines from Weinviertel are known for their crisp acidity, citrusy notes, and peppery character.
Terroir: The Weinviertel's terroir consists of loess soil, which is well-suited for growing grapes. This type of soil retains water, allowing the vines to thrive in the region's continental climate, characterized by hot summers and cold winters.
DAC Classification: The Weinviertel is divided into specific winegrowing areas, and the wines produced here often carry the Weinviertel DAC (Districtus Austriae Controllatus) designation. The Weinviertel DAC is exclusively reserved for Grüner Veltliner wines that meet certain quality standards.
Red Wines: While Grüner Veltliner dominates the production, the Weinviertel also produces red wines, including varieties such as Zweigelt and Blaufränkisch.
Wine Tourism: The Weinviertel is not only a significant wine-producing region but also attracts wine enthusiasts and tourists. Visitors can explore the vineyards, taste local wines in traditional Heuriger wine taverns, and experience the cultural and culinary aspects of the region.
Wine Routes: The Weinviertel has established wine routes, allowing visitors to tour the vineyards and wineries. These routes provide a scenic and educational experience for those interested in learning more about the winemaking process.
The Weinviertel's commitment to quality winemaking and its unique expression of Grüner Veltliner have contributed to its reputation as a notable wine region in Austria. If you have the opportunity to explore Austrian wines, trying Grüner Veltliner from the Weinviertel can provide a distinctive and enjoyable tasting experience.

Domaine Jean Grivot Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru Aux Boudots is made from 100 percent Pinot Noir.
Domaine Jean Grivot is among the great names in Burgundian wine. Étienne Grivot and his wife Marielle took over from Étienne’s father Jean Grivot in 1987. The vineyards are densely planted and farmed organically “sans certification” while the aim in the cellar is for balance and clear expression of terroir.
Jean Grivot’s 38.3 acres spread across 22 appellations with vineyards in the communes of Vosne-Romanée, Vougeot, Chambolle-Musigny, and Nuits-Saint-Georges. Besides the three grand crus, there are 8 premier crus including the much lauded Les Beaux Monts and Suchots in Vosne-Romanée. The grapes are completely de-stemmed and fermentation is spontaneous.
Nuits-Saint-Georges Aux Boudots 1er cru lies in the “Zone Vosnoise” or northern end of Nuits-Saint-Georges just below Les Damodes. It borders Vosne-Romanée Aux Malconsorts 1er just to its north. Its position slightly lower on the slope with deep soil full of pebbles results in a richer and fuller wine.
The grapes are destemmed and maceration à froid usually lasts just a day or two. The alcoholic fermentation is spontaneous and malolactic fermentation occurs in barrel. Depending on the vintage, the proportion of new oak is around 30-60% for the premier crus.
The wine shows aromas and flavors of red berries, herbs, and purple flowers. The palate is rich with ripe fruit and medium weight with bright acidity and fine tannins. Aging in 30-60% new Burgundian pièce brings notes of vanilla, toast, and baking spices.
Red Burgundy might be the world’s most flexible food wine. The wine’s high acidity, medium body, medium alcohol, and low tannins make it very food-friendly. Red Burgundy, with its earthy and sometimes gamey character, is a classic partner to roasted game birds, grilled duck breast, and dishes that feature mushrooms, black truffles, or are rich in umami.
Reviews:
‘The 2020 Nuits Saint-Georges Aux Boudots Ter Cru has the best aromatics among Grivat Nuits Saint-Georges with very well defined red berry fruit, briary and lignt sous-bois aromas. The palate is medium-badied with fine-grain tannins, slightly savory on the entry, fresh and saline on the finish. This has real verve and class, though it will benefit from time in bottle
-Vinous 93-95 Points
A wine with the substance and structure to support the generous lashings of new oak used for maturation, and the overall effect is elegant and classic in style. Aux Boudots, where Grivot has 0.85ha, is at the northern edge of Nuits, just over the border from Vosne-Romanée Malconsorts. They began to pick on the 3rd of September – Etienne specified that they are very particular that the tannins are ripe and do what they can to prolong the vegetative cycle. Still, the grapes were picked with an entirely correct pH of around 3.4.

Reviews:
Another sensational edition of the Mollydooker ‘Carnival of Love’ Shiraz from 2021 — and I am not the least surprised. I’ve had every edition of this wine for more than a decade. This bottling was as usual aged in all new American oak. On the nose this takes on dense black currant jelly, cigar box and shades of creosote with Arabica bean. The palate is soft and inviting with its plush texture and seamless mouthfeel as this effortlessly glides throughout the drinking experience. A joy to drink now so young, this will easily cellar for another ten years and potentially more. But why wait?
