Austria boasts 4000 years of wine making history.  Unfortunately, the market for Austrian wine was almost completely destroyed in 1985 when it was discovered that a few wine brokers had adulterated their wines with diethylene glycol (the active ingredient in antifreeze).  Thankfully, the scandal compelled Austria to establish strict quality standards for their wine and as a result, the country has earned a reputation for dependably high quality wines.

Weingut Berger is a relatively small father-son estate of 18 hectares that is located in the Kamptal-Kremstal area of Lower Austria (Niederösterreich).  Their Gruner Veltliner vines are planted on south-facing loess terraces.  They use cultured yeasts to get slow fermentations and conserve the purity of the fruit. All fermentation occurs in stainless steel and under carefully controlled temperature.  All grapes are farmed organically.
