Default Austrian Grape Varieties

In a recent thread we talked about Austrian wines. Incidentally, I
found the official list of the "Qualitätsweinrebsorten" (grape
varieties to produce "Qualitätswein", quality wine), including the
list of officially permitted synonyms in brackets:


----------- begin citation -----------

§ 1. Für die Erzeugung von Qualitätswein oder Qualitätswein
besonderer Reife und Leseart (Prädikatswein) dürfen folgende
Qualitätsweinrebsorten verwendet werden:

1. Weißweinrebsorten [white]:

Bouvier, Frühroter Veltliner (Malvasier), Furmint,
Goldburger, Grauer Burgunder (Pinot Gris, Ruländer), Grüner
Veltliner (Weißgipfler), Jubiläumsrebe, Müller-Thurgau
(Riesling x Sylvaner, Rivaner), Muskateller (Gelber
Muskateller, Roter Muskateller), Muskat-Ottonel, Neuburger,
Roter Veltliner, Rotgipfler, Sauvignon Blanc
(Muskat-Sylvaner), Scheurebe (Sämling 88), Sylvaner (Grüner
Sylvaner), Traminer (Gewürztraminer, Roter Traminer), Weißer
Burgunder (Weißburgunder, Pinot Blanc, Klevner) und
Chardonnay (Feinburgunder, Morillon), Weißer Riesling
(Riesling, Rheinriesling), Welschriesling, Zierfandler
(Spätrot).

2. Rotweinrebsorten [red]:

Blauburger, Blauer Burgunder (Blauer Spätburgunder,
Blauburgunder, Pinot Noir), Blauer Portugieser, Blauer
Wildbacher, Blaufränkisch, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet
Sauvignon, Merlot, St. Laurent, Zweigelt (Blauer Zweigelt,
Rotburger).

----------- end citation -----------

Please note that this list is federal law; the Bundesländer
(provinces) can have their own lists and permit grape varieties
not listed here; this happened in the case of Burgenland who
included Syrah/Shiraz in their list.
