Wines from the highest level of the DAC pyramid as holiday wines – available online

Graz (OTS) – Wines “made in Styria” regularly place in the top field in national and international wine competitions. The results from comparative tastings and awards show the class of Styrian wines from the highest level of the DAC pyramid: Strong and full-bodied wines, with an independent character and a little higher in alcohol. The finesse-rich wines “typically Styrian” have storage potential and are ideal as “fireplace wines” for the festive season and as a high-quality gift. The Wein Steiermark publishes on www.steiermark.wine Tasting results, tasting notes and online buying opportunities.

Comparative tastings show the class of Styrian vineyard wines, which come from the closest origins. “The density of quality is reflected in all 9 DAC varieties in the three areas Südsteiermark DAC, Vulkanland Steiermark DAC and Weststeiermark DAC wider“, Werner Luttenberger, GF of Styrian Wine, is delighted. “Vineyard wines are vinified in a very special way, and they are also looked after with the greatest care in the vineyard.” When asked what one can expect from Styrian single vineyard wines, Stefan Potzinger, chairman of Styrian wine, enthuses: „The customer can expect finesse, not alcohol, abundance and heaviness. He can expect a wine that is suitable as a food companion and has good aging potential. The size of a wine consists of finesse, terroir and shelf life.“

Vineyard wines – wines with protected origins – the DAC system of origin Styria

Styrian vineyard wines are wines “with protected origins” from the highest level of the DAC pyramid. The grapes of the wines are handpicked and mostly come from locations with extremely high slopes. Each vineyard has its own character, which is made up of its orientation, exposure to sunlight and the soil. The art of making distinctive wines with an individual character lies in the hands of the winemaker. The Styrian origin system offers outstanding wines with a guarantee of origin.

Vineyard wines – “fireplace wines” with storage potential

In order to be able to fully enjoy vineyard wines, you should also give them time when tasting and let the wine breathe a little after opening. Bulbous glasses and a drinking temperature of 10-12 degrees that are not too cold are recommended, so that the aromas can develop optimally. Vineyard wines go wonderfully with dark meat and extravagant dishes. Due to the long shelf life, the wines are also ideal as gifts.
