Wines To Find, Ep 183: A Peek into the World of Unique Wines From The Alps

Wines: Lackner-Tinnacher Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc

Ever wonder what makes an Alpine wine truly sing? Imagine sipping a glass of Lackner-Tinnacher  Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc while learning the unique journey it took to arrive in your hands. This episode is a fascinating waltz into Austrian wines as we continue  learning about Alpine wines with our special guest Aric Wood from Archetype Wines. We discuss the barriers these small wineries have to enter the US wine market as Aric explains the intriguing model Archetype Wines employs to champion his selected wines. We share the qualities of these two wines as Aric explains the distinct soil composition of the Südsteiermark region and how winemaker Katharina Lackner-Tinnacher expertly expresses the wine's minerality to make every sip a delightful experience.

Brace yourself as we explore the Austrian government's response to a crisis in the wine market, discuss the resulting changes in labeling laws, the banning of most additives, and the shift towards dryer wines. Aric shares why Austrian wines are a treasure trove worth shopping, and tells us of the native red and white grapes from the region, and explains why the  Chardonnays are such a great buy.

With the Alpine area being such a large region, Aric explains the differences of the Archetype Wine Clubs and why each is unique. His passion for Alpine wines will leave you yearning for a glass, making this episode a must-listen for any wine enthusiast.
