Niederösterreich

**Niederösterreich** ... — Lower Austria, the country's largest quality wine region, spread across the north-east around the Danube and its tributaries. **Wines & grapes** — Predominantly crisp, dry whites, led by Grüner Veltliner, Austria's signature grape, and fine Riesling. It contains celebrated sub-zones such as the Wachau, Kremstal and Kamptal, along with reds from around Vienna's fringes. **Character** — Cool continental conditions and steep terraced vineyards give whites with bright acidity, mineral drive and, in the case of Grüner Veltliner, a distinctive peppery, citrus-and-green-herb note. The best examples age gracefully. **Good to know** — The steep Wachau terraces along the Danube are among Austria's most scenic and highly regarded vineyard sites.
