This wine list shows Austrian wine in all its colours and styles, giving room both for classics and more revolutionary producers. The list is a great presentation of how exciting the Austrian wine world currently is, said jury member Heidi Mäkinen about the winning list 2024. [Star Wine List of the Year International Open 2024]

This wine list is always the top in Asia. It has a strong personality, focuses on low intervention, and features some of the most expensive wines in the world through to some very down-to-earth producers – you can go and explore the world or stick to local wines. Very comprehensive and well made. [Star Wine List of the Year International Open 2025]

What I love about this selection is that it starts with delicious, engaged and curious winemakers from Champagne – whether artisans or grandes marques, all the choices are delicious. Not only that, but they also include sparkling producers from other regions, with great choices outside of Champagne. The whites section is not huge but so well selected, incorporating France, Germany, Austria, Greece and even Japan. And the skin contact section is the key to showing this team’s expertise – with conviction, they offer the same quantity of skin contact wines as whites or reds. Bravo for this capacity for selection among the vast world of wine. [Star Wine List of the Year International Open 2025]

Here is a list which shows true mastery of Austrian wine, presenting a cross-section of the country's vinous delights from rare icons and cellared classics through to new-wave interpretations and cult natural wines. Varietal and stylistic diversity is expertly represented by delicious selections, right across the wine list, including glass pours. A world-class Austrian list to sink into and lose oneself!
