About: Orsini Wines Presents Austria!

Austria has been making wine a long, long time. Wiki says: There is archaeological evidence of grape growing in Traisental 4000 years ago. Grape seeds have been found in urns dating back to 700 BC in Zagersdorf, while bronze wine flagons of the Celtic La Tène culture dating to the 5th century BC have been found at Dürrnberg in Salzburg state. Viticulture thrived under the Romans, once Marcus Aurelius Probus (Roman emperor 276–282) had overturned the ban on growing grapes north of the Alps. Both Grüner Veltliner and Welschriesling appear to have been grown around the Danube since Roman times.
"Austrian wines have a reputation for being lighter and most are compared to the California style but Austrian wines are also structurally solid and pack a flavorful punch," says Gina Trippi, co-owner of MetroWines. "And many of the reds are chillable for the warmer months."
