The wine region of Niederösterreich
Homeland of Grüner Veltliner: Austria's signature dry whites, lively, peppery ("Pfefferl"), with notes of citrus, green apple, fennel and fine minerality, from crunchy everyday to great age-worthy bottles on lees. Taut, precise Riesling on the Wachau terraces (UNESCO). Quieter reds: supple Zweigelt with red fruit. Subregions: Wachau, Kremstal, Kamptal, Wagram, Weinviertel.
The wine region of Weinland
Vast German-speaking region in north-eastern Switzerland, the country's largest production area. Signature Pinot Noir (Blauburgunder): fine, fresh reds with notes of cherry, raspberry, undergrowth and sweet spices, silky tannins. Elegant, delicate style, often barrel-aged. Also light, floral Müller-Thurgau (Riesling-Sylvaner), lively, lemony native Räuschling, ample Pinot Gris.
The word of the wine: Tanin
A natural compound contained in the skin of the grape, the seed or the woody part of the bunch, the stalk. The maceration of red wines allows the extraction of tannins, which give the texture, the solidity and also the mellowness when the tannins are "ripe". The winemaker seeks above all to extract the tannins from the skin, the ripest and most noble. The tannins of the seed or stalk, which are "greener", especially in average years, give the wine hardness and astringency. The wines of Bordeaux (based on Cabernet and Merlot) are full of tannins, those of Burgundy much less so, with Pinot Noir containing little.
