Decanter World Wine Awards
Whilst we're on the subject of Austrian wines, they did rather well at the recent Decanter Wine Awards:
Riesling from the Kamptal and Burgenland red wines capture “International Trophies”. At the World Wine Awards in London, the leading international wine magazine, Decanter, has awarded for the second time its trophies to prominent wineries. Austrian winemakers have proven very successful indeed

Austrian Wine - a nice half bottle
We had a rather nice Austrian Gruner Veltliner 2005 in Chez Bruce the other night. At £27 for half a bottle (we were dining late and I had school in the morning), it was not cheap but was definitely interesting. Unfortunately in very un-Chez Bruce style, it was not particularly well chilled but once cool enough was ready to be inbibed.
A mixture of peach and lemon intially, with a really long finish, this is a very complex wine, definitely not to everyone's taste but dry enough not to be sticky and oily enough to go with any fish or white meat dish.
