Austria produces wines of exceptional quality, and, while each of its 17 regions offers great wines, be it white wine, red wine, sparkling wine or dessert wine - Wachau is by far one of my favorite ones. Wachau region is strongly associated with its Gruner Veltiner and Riesling wines and its unique wine classification system - Steinfeder, Federspiel and Smaragd wines. And although there are so many quality producers in the region, who offer age-worthy white wines that rival those of Burgundy, Wachau is still one of the wine world's best kept secrets.
