Austria is a wine country of great individuality. With its unique grape varietals, its long history and national traditions it has evolved a wine culture unlike anywhere else in the world.

Winegrowing in Austria goes back to the drawn of civilization. With the most recent chapter to promote quality with an unwavering devote to indigenous grape varietals and wine styles.

Wine growing areas are situated around the 48° latitude, just as Burgundy in France.

Small is beautiful – that is what best describes Austrian wine, when put into international perspective. With only 1% of the world wine production Austria is one of the smallest wine growing countries in Europe. Over all there are around 45,000 ha of vineyards in Austria with an obvious focus on white grape varieties (65%).

Austria has warm and sunny summers and long mild autumn days with cool nights as the country’s climate is dominated by the interplay of Pannonian influences ( continental climate ) and more moderate Western European conditions.

There are many different soil types in Austria’s vineyards. Loess dominates in the Weinviertel and the Danube valley. While primary rock ( granite and weathered granite ) are a characteristic component of the soils in the Kremstal, Kamptal and Wachau valley. In Vienna and further South there are more chalky soils and the Burgenland ranges from slate, loam, gravel and loess to pure sandy soils. Volcanic soils are found mostly in Styria.

Austria has a very strict wine-law The “Quality Seal” guarantees high quality wines from Austria Controlled twice by state laboratories: a chemical analysis is followed by a tasting commission )

The name of the valley is derived from the river Kamp that flows south directly through it. The right bank (villages Langenlois, Zöbing) with its clay, loam and loess soil gives Grüner creaminess and length. The left bank (Heiligenstein vineyard site) with primary rock (granite and weathered granite) and mica-slate accounts for minerality and zip for the “LAURENZ V.” style.

Grüner Veltliner has effected a Cinderella-like transformation and now finds itself feted like a superstar. From fresh and lively to concentrated and monumental – a grape variety justly identified with Austrian wine culture.

Grüner Veltliner is the country’s flagship grape variety, accounting for one third of the country’s entire acreage.

Grüner Veltliner is the natural offspring of Traminer and the St. Georgen grape.

The quality spectrum of Grüner ranges from light, pleasant, easy-to-drink young wines to mid-body elegant and creamy Grüners, and bold late harvest wines that are rich in extract and alcohol.

Grüner offers great aging potential adding complexity with bottle aging.

Grüner is the “chameleon of wine”. It is a perfect food companion, complementing a variety of meals and cuisines. It is ideally paired with Fusion Cuisine, Modern Asian Cuisine, anything spicy and, of course, typical Austrian cuisine (Wiener Schnitzel, Tafelspitz).

Taste Profile - Think of the floral perfume of an elegant Riesling, the refreshing zip of a Sauvignon Blanc and the lusciousness of a good Pinot Grigio, all in great harmony, with a hint of white pepper as the typical spice of Grüner Veltliner.

The mission of LAURENZ V. is to play a leading role in establishing Grüner Veltliner amongst the PREMIUM WHITE WINES of the world.
