What an incredible tasting this morning at Palais Niederösterreich in Vienna as part of VieVinum. Titled ‘Terrior Talks’ with 22 flights of wine able to be tasted which are ordered from an amazingly slick team of sommeliers who bring the wines to you. With so many wines on offer we decided to stick to some of the classic varieties, starting with a focus on top single vineyards and then broadening out right across Austria. It was a fascinating lesson in vintage variation, regionality and winemaking impact on style. Thanks to Austrian wine for such a superb event, and to all of the wineries who provided the wines.
