Team Austria

Austria isn't a star-studded team, but a close-knit collective – disciplined, energetic, and a tough nut to crack for any opponent. Here, it's the "we" that counts, not the "I." In terms of taste, this translates to: peppery-fresh Grüner Veltliner, the unofficial national treasure, and juicy, cherry-flavored Zweigelt, paired with half a squad from the family-run Hugl/Wimmer winery, whose wines harmonize perfectly. In defense stands a veritable fortress, impenetrable to any ball: the Malteser Ritterorden Blauer Zweigelt and the Malteser Riede Hundschupfen Grüner Veltliner trocken tackle everything with aristocratic flair and cool composure. Behind them, the juicy, cherry-flavored Hugl Zweigelt trocken 1.0L and the uncomplicated, reliable Hugl/Wimmer Zweigelt Classic routinely cover every situation. The midfield is orchestrated by captain Hugl Grüner Veltliner 1.0L , the team's lifeline, with notes of green apple, citrus, and its characteristic peppery flavor. Alongside it, the Hugl/Wimmer Grüner Veltliner Classic calmly distributes the balls, the elegant Klosterkeller Siegendorf O'Dora Cuvée dry brings clarity and finesse, and the surprising Weingut Johann Topf white Zweigelt Strassertal starts its runs from midfield. Up front, three lively characters create a stir: the fragrant and aromatic Hugl/Wimmer Gelber Muskateller dry with its captivating bouquet, the cheeky, idiosyncratic Hugl/Wimmer Saurüssel , which ruffles every defense, and the charming, fruity-sweet Hugl/Wimmer Weissburgunder fruity-sweet , which wins over connoisseurs. Disciplined, persistent, unconventional – typically Austrian.
