We love how excited sommeliers and Austrian wine fans get when they see our selections. Outside of liter bottles of lightly sparkling GVs (which are delicious), there’s not a lot of serious Austrian wines that make it to American shelves.

That’s why it seems shocking to point out that Austrian winemakers produce some of the greatest wines made anywhere in the world. They count among their ranks such luminaries as FX Pichler, Gobelsburg, Nikolaihof, and Brundlmayer.
 
Despite the love of diehard fans, the wines don’t receive the attention they deserve. Were these from France, these biodynamic, single-vineyard, Grand Cru, food-friendly, cellar-worthy, and ridiculously underpriced gems from thousand-year-old wineries would be three times as expensive. These are the best value in luxury whites in the world.

“I’ve written this many times before, but it bears repeating: Produttori del Barbaresco is one of Italy’s ultimate values for your money.” –Monica Larner, Wine Advocate
 
Produttori del Barbaresco:
 
The OG Cult Wine of Portland
 

Produttori del Barbaresco is revered for producing classically-styled Barbaresco and Riservas of uncompromising quality and transparency. You’d be hard-pressed to find such consistent quality and complexity out of such an extensive range of single-vineyard Nebbiolos anywhere else.
 
Oregon was the first state to import the wines, and they’ve been beloved by many for decades. We’ve admired the producer and its director, Aldo Vacca (cousin of the late Renato Vacca of Cantina del Pino), since the shop first opened. We’ve pleased to continue to offer some of Barbaresco’s finest line up.

The German wine region the Pfalz is nestled between the Haardt Mountains and the Rhine River. Here, in a veritable oasis of forests and hills, one finds evidence of wine making and consumption dating back to 550 BCE. The region’s conditions make for some of the most interesting and diverse expressions of German wine, with dry Riesling being its crown jewel.
 
It’s an open secret that dry German Riesling is one of the most complex white wines in the world, yet is also one of the most undervalued. There exist today some historic and well-respected producers that can turn heads and hearts without turning your wallet inside-out. One such estate is the innovative Dr.

Unlike in neighboring Barolo, the vineyards of Barbaresco are still packed with under-the-radar yet magnificent producers—and none represents better buying opportunity than Paitin. Dante Scaglione of Bruno Giacosa fame serves as the family’s enologist, taking the incredible estate vineyards to the next level.
 
The winemaking here is all traditional. Despite a brief trial with modern techniques in the 90’s, the wines undergo gentle pump over and cap submersion during the weeks-long maceration. The wines then undergo an extended aging in neutral barrels and botti from Slavonia and Austria for up to three years.
 
The results offer a glimpse into the future of the winery and the wines to come. The wines are solid, deep, and built to last – echoing the family’s tie to their home and spectacular holdings within the Serraboella cru.
