New guide
“The standard of the wines is top class”
The new red and sweet wine guide reads like a "primer of excellent taste". Hot off the press, this profound reference work presents 75 winegrowers with 197 fine samples, judged by top experts.
One of the many pleasing findings first: "The standard of the wines submitted is higher than ever before," is the succinct summary of the high-ranking jury of experts headed by wine academic Johannes Fiala, supported by sommelier icon Adi Schmid. Their guide is highly regarded in the gastronomy scene and among private connoisseurs.
Gesellmann at the top
Weingut Gesellmann from Deutschkreutz stands out as the glorious overall winner among the entries for the red varieties, closely followed by Weingut Wagentristl from Großhöflein on the Leithaberg. Third place went to the Josef Tesch winery from Neckenmarkt. The latter also came up trumps in the individual rankings.
Titan 2021 as the winner
The Titan 2021 from Tesch is the highest-rated red wine in the new guide with 99 points. In general, the results are top: 167 submissions were rated as "excellent" by the jury, i.e. with 90 to 94 points. For 85 samples, the verdict "absolute top international class" was impressive, resulting in 95 points or more. Seven red wines achieved the top score of 98.
"The pendulum swung highest with the sweet wines," says Fiala, author and publisher of the brand-new Guide Austria 2025. Four Trockenbeerenauslesen, a Beerenauslese and an ice wine each scored 99 points. Hans Tschida from Angerhof in Illmitz even achieved the maximum of a sensational 100 points with his Muskat Ottonel Schilfwein 2021.
Other award winners
The Klosterneuburg Abbey winery from Lower Austria took second place. Third place went to Weingut Andreas Lang from Lake Neusiedl thanks to its "Prize for Pleasure" win in the sweet wine category. Winery Gager from Deutschkreutz won the "Winery with the best price-pleasure ratio" category with four wines in the top 50.
