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.

O'Shaughnessy Estate Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is made from 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Malbec, 3% Petit Verdot, 3% St. Macaire, 1% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Carmenère.
Blended from our three Estate vineyards in arguably the three best appellations within the Napa Valley: Howell Mountain, Mt. Veeder and Oakville. Howell Mountain gives us structure and ripe red fruit, while Mt. Veeder adds an extra punch of tannins along with savory mineral driven qualities, Oakville balances out the mountains with its silky texture and pure fruit. This Cabernet is deep ruby red with an opaque center. Bold aromas of aged leather, black currant, and rum raisin, creating a layered and complex bouquet. A luxuriously sweet and rich entry, unfolding with ripe blackberry and velvety cocoa powder. The texture is smooth yet structured, balanced by moderate tannins and a medium level of acidity, leading to a long, elegant finish.
Review:
Based on 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Malbec, 3% Petit Verdot, 3% St. Macaire, 1% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Carmenère and aged two years in French oak (60% new, 40% second year), the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon offers blackcurrants, scorched earth, iron, sappy herbs, and tobacco. It's rich and medium to full-bodied, nicely concentrated, and has a layered, textured mouthfeel, ripe underlying tannins, and outstanding length. I slightly prefer the overall structure and balance here to the Mt. Veeder bottling, but both are successful 2022s with 10-12 years of longevity.
