According to the Drinksretailingnews Wachau has become Austria’s newest and 15th DAC winegrowing region.

Wachau submitted the draft of a DAC regulation to the Ministry of agriculture, regions and tourism, and this has now been signed by law by federal minister Elisabeth Kostinger. The protected designation of origin Wachau DAC is now the fifteenth of its kind in Austria.

Chris Yorke, managing director of the Austrian Wine Marketing Board (AWMB), said: “With the Wachau, we can now welcome another important member to Austria’s DAC family. In doing this, Austria’s wine industry has taken a further step on the path of origin-based marketing. This has proven itself effective for 17 years now, and has also become recognised internationally.”
