Austria's Thermenregion

Alphart Pressweingarten

21 June 2023 The Thermenregion DAC was officially announced at the beginning of this month, with the following summary of the regulations.

Regionally typical wines from the Thermenregion are now protected with a DAC, making this the final wine-growing region to join the system. The native white wine varieties Rotgipfler and Zierfandler take centre stage here, alongside the Burgundian grapes (Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, St Laurent and Pinot Noir). The DAC wines will be classified into three different tiers – Gebietswein (regional wine), Ortswein ('villages' wine) and Riedenwein (single-vineyard wine) – and make their debut with the 2023 vintage.
