Sparkling Wine from Austria

Austria’s sparkling wine scene is a hidden gem, showcasing a production method called “Sekt.” Typically made from Grüner Veltliner or Riesling, Austrian Sekt is distinguished by its crispness and expressive fruit flavors. Expect a delightful bouquet of green apple, stone fruit, and a hint of minerality, often complemented by a fine, persistent mousse. The most notable regions for Sekt include the traditional wine areas of Vienna and the Styrian countryside, where the climate lends itself to exceptional quality and elegance.
