Ideal for toasting together
The Heart-Wines
After the great success in previous years, three heart wines were again chosen in 2024 by Styrian Tourism and Location Marketing GmbH together with Wein Steiermark. Around 60 wines were tasted by an expert jury - here are our winners.
Around 60 regional wines from the 2023 vintage were put to the test by a jury of experts in a blind tasting.
Werner Luttenberger (managing director of Wein Steiermark), Anna Schachner (graduate sommelière, wine academic) and Martin Palz (vinicultural consultant) had the choice between the following grape varieties: Sauvignon Blanc, Welschriesling, Pinot Blanc, Blauer Wildbacher (Schilcher) and Gelber Muskateller. These varieties stand for the so-called DAC-Gebietsweine and represent the three Styrian wine-growing regions in their full scope.
In a final round, 3 wines from each of the DAC regions Südsteiermark, Vulkanland Steiermark and Weststeiermark were tasted again. We are now able to announce the results of the tasting and present you with the Styrian Heart Wines 2024.
These are the Styrian heart wines:
During the course of the year, the wines will be available for tasting at events organized by Steirische Tourismus und Standortmarketing GmbH and at selected inns.
All information on the anniversary wines and the Styrian wine-growing regions, as well as on current events is also available directly from Wein Steiermark.
