For over 180 years, the Schlumberger brand has been synonymous with qualitative excellence within Austria. Founded in 1842 by Robert Alwin Schlumberger, the company boasts an exciting and eventful history - from its beginnings as a small family business to its rise as the largest domestic sparkling wine producer.
In the production of sparkling wine, according to the Méthode Traditionelle, great importance is attached to the processing of exclusively Austrian grapes and the maximum usage of the domestic supply chain. The Austrian three-tier quality pyramid for Sekt Austria was developed to raise consumer awareness of the diversity of the products, regional production, and the high-quality standards of Austrian sparkling wine. The quality level of sparkling wine can be recognized at first glance by the label on the bottle and the red-white-red banderole. The quality pyramid serves primarily as an orientation aid when buying and distinguishes Austrian sparkling wines in three different quality levels: Sekt Austria, Sekt Austria Reserve, and Sekt Austria Grosse Reserve.
