The culinary diversity of the Mediterranean kitchen is as popular as ever. And that’s a good reason for the Austrian Wine Marketing Board<\/a><\/strong> (AWMB) to deal with the theme Mediterranean Cooking & Austrian Wine.<\/p>\n

This much loved food goes far beyond pizza and pasta. Also Spanish tapas and gazpacho are experiencing a revival, especially as summer hits.<\/p>\n

In any case, Mediterranean cooking accompanied by Austrian quality wines \u2013 light and fresh, in particular – promises to deliver an array of wonderful culinary experiences.<\/p>\n

Mediterranean Delectables Paired with Fine Wines<\/strong><\/p>\n

In general, dishes such as penne and paella, in combination with white wine are clearly in the lead. Austria’s main grape variety, Gr\u00fcner Veltliner<\/strong><\/a>, perfectly completes favourite antipasti such as beef carpaccio, proscuitto and melon, and the summer-light caprese.<\/p>\n

The classic Styrian Sauvignon Blanc, with its ripe fruit and without green or bold aromas and flavours, is another ideal antipasti partner. A Sauvignon Blanc that’s a bit stronger, riper and has been matured in big wooden barrels, goes nicely with grilled seafood.<\/p>\n

Warm Italian starters, from pasta to gnocchi, harmonize so well with the indigenous grape varieties, especially Rotgipfler and Zierfandler<\/strong><\/a>. And the Burgundy varieties, including Weissburgunder and Grauburgunder, make perfect companions not only for pasta & co, but also to Spanish tortillas and, of course, the inimitable paella.<\/p>\n

\"Lower<\/a>For gourmets who prefer their dishes a bit more hearty and robust, there is even more from the Mediterranean kitchen to enjoy with Austrian wine.<\/p>\n

Juicy roasted meats, for example, are superb with St. Laurent<\/strong><\/a> or Pinot Noir<\/strong><\/a>. And Blaufr\u00e4nkisch and Zweigelt<\/strong><\/a>, with their fine fruit and spice expressions, are deliciously supportive partners for ossobucco and grilled bistecca.<\/p>\n

\"Austria<\/a>The Culinary Diversity of Austrian Wines<\/strong><\/p>\n
