THE PLACE TO ENJOY
NEW SIGNATURE WINE AT IMLAUER
We are delighted to present a special new addition to our wine selection: the new “Selektion IMLAUER” signature wine. Carefully selected and crafted with great attention to detail, this characterful Grüner Veltliner comes from the time-honored Domäne Wachau winery —a wine that stands for exceptional enjoyment and wonderfully reflects our values: regional cooperation and the careful use of resources.
As an Austrian company, it is important to us to give the variety and high quality of Austrian wine a special place in our hotels and restaurants and to present it to our international guests. It was therefore important to us to choose a wine that not only stands for Austria’s long and traditional wine culture, but also suits our establishments.
In a class of its own
The new Grüner Veltliner “Selektion IMLAUER” comes from one of Austria’s most famous wine regions, the Wachau. Viticulture has been practiced here for around 2000 years and the local soils are perfect for growing Grüner Veltliner.
In the Domäne Wachau winery, we have found a partner that combines the age-old craft of Austrian winemaking with innovative ideas and a concept that unites tradition, quality, and the Vinea Wachau Charter (Domäne Wachau Expertise), thereby creating a product that is both contemporary and steeped in tradition.
“Respect for nature and the soil is central to the work of the winegrowers on the steep slopes of the Wachau.”

We spoke with Thomas Imlauer about the new signature wine at IMLAUER.
Why was the decision made to choose a new signature wine?
After 10 years, it was time for something new. The world of wine is constantly changing, and we always want to present our guests with something exciting and in tune with the times.
Can you introduce us to the new house wine from Domäne Wachau?
Specifically, it is a Grüner Veltliner Federspiel Terrassen, a classic. The wine was hand-picked with impressive attention to detail from the steepest terraces in the Wachau. A purist wine with plenty of spice and depth.
Is there a special story or inspiration behind this wine?
A wonderful wine tour to Domäne Wachau in Dürnstein inspired us to collaborate more closely with this unique winery. The winery is considered one of the best winemakers’ cooperatives in the world. Domäne Wachau has essentially reinvented itself—a revolutionary idea: a cooperative reorganized and redefined. Domäne Wachau has become a globally unique concept for the future of viticulture, combining traditional craftsmanship, a highly decentralized approach, and the winemakers’ unparalleled expertise.
What dishes can you recommend the Grüner Veltliner “Selektion IMLAUER” with?
For classic Austrian cuisine, whether fried chicken, boiled beef or Wiener schnitzel.
Where can our guests enjoy this wine?
In all our restaurants from Salzburg to Styria, but also at the hotel bar in Vienna. It is also available in small bottles in the rooms of our hotels in Salzburg and Vienna.
