SCHILCHERLAND STYRIA
If you want to enjoy the lightness of being to the full, Schilcherland Styria is definitely the right place. It covers the region from Ligist in the west Styrian foothills to the Koralm and the Radl mountain pass at the Slovenian border. Characterised by stunningly beautiful nature and romantic vineyards, the region derives its name from Schilcher, the famous local rosé wine produced from the indigenous Wildbacher grapes that radiate with colour in your glass. Another colourful regional speciality is the dark green Styrian pumpkinseed oil whose intense nutty taste refines many a local recipe.
