In 2015, the Sekt Austria Pyramid ushered in a new era for premium Austrian sparkling wine. Since then, the country’s sparkling wine scene has evolved dynamically, becoming younger, more diverse, and increasingly vibrant. Today, Austria is regarded as one of the most exciting origins for high-quality sparkling wines. This masterclass revisits the past decade through a selection of representative vintage examples from the Sekt Austria Reserve and Sekt Austria Grosse Reserve categories, offering insight into how the Sekt Austria classification has reshaped Austria’s sparkling wine landscape.
Visitors can also sample Austrian sparkling wine at the Sekt Austria bar in the foyer. Discover and enjoy a comprehensive range of Sekt Austria in the three categories Sekt Austria, Sekt Austria Reserve and Sekt Austria Große Reserve.
