Upper Austria is part of Austria's Bergland wine region. Oberösterreich is the protected origin printed on wine labels, covering the whole province. Most wine made under that name is Qualitätswein: Oberösterreich identifies where it comes from, while Qualitätswein identifies the category.
Upper Austrian wine has gone from a secret to a regional culinary flagship. The 2025 vintage was described as fruit-forward and fresh. For more detail, look to the grape, vintage and any narrower place name on the label.
Provincial wine law requires planting rights and maintains a cadastre of vineyards, wine businesses and special installations. A label naming a Ried must put "Ried" before it. Village, large-site and Ried names generally require at least 85 percent of the grapes to come from the named place.
