With the Weinviertel dac Reserve, the Weinviertel joins the rest of Austria’s two-tiered DACs.
Austria: Weinviertel dac adds Reserve with 2009 Vintage
(AWMB, March 2010) - In 2003, the Weinviertel became the first Austrian wine-growing area to market typical wines of origin under the specific name of the region. This gave the Weinviertel dac its pioneering role for wines with a clear identity and a typical taste profile. So far, six other regions - Mittelburgenland, Traisental, Kremstal, Kamptal, Leithaberg and Eisenberg - have joined this appellation system as well. And now with the 2009 vintage, the available two-tiered DAC system, which includes the Reserve level, has been introduced also in the Weinviertel. With this, the taste profile should reflect even more typicity. And the number of wines that come on the market under the Weinviertel designation should increase. > >
Austria’s 2009 Vintage - The Rule of 9 Series
(AWMB, January 2010) - It’s almost eerie – the 9 series! The legendary Austrian “9er” vintages certainly live up to their reputation even in the new millennium. It began in 1959 – the vintage that nature gave an outstanding performance in Austria (and in many other wine countries of Europe). Magnificent white wines and especially sweet wines are still living proof of the vintage’s legendary reputation. But a decade later – in 1969 – nature went even further. >>
Important Gains in Shrinking Markets Ensure Success
Austrian Wine Wins in Times of Crisis
(AWMB, December 2009) - Over the past year, Austrian wine was very successful despite the economic crisis. In fact, the growth that defined the previous few years continued in 2009, especially in the food retail trade. Market shares increased further, culminating in an excellent result. While the total of exported Austrian goods decreased by almost a sixth in 2009, Austrian wine exports rose throughout the year, gaining market share especially in shrinking markets - even though, in general, lower priced products were sold in all price segments. > >
