Tucked between rolling hills and the serene Danube River lies the Wachau, Austria's winemaking gem. Renowned for its Grüner Veltliner and Riesling, this UNESCO World Heritage site boasts a storied heritage that dates back to Roman times. The region's terraced vineyards, kissed by the sun and cooled by Danube breezes, yield wines with vibrant acidity and hints of stone fruit, white pepper, and flint. Sub-regions like Dürnstein and Spitz capture the essence of terroir, making Wachau an indelible mark on the wine map.
