This regional law establishes a legal framework for viticulture in Upper Austria, aimed at ensuring sustainable wine production and high-quality grape cultivation while implementing relevant EU regulations. It defines key concepts, regulates vineyard planting rights (including permitted categories such as small-scale, trial, and special plantings), and sets out administrative procedures for authorisations, replanting, and the management of vineyard plots, including digital registration. The law further provides for the classification of approved grape varieties, establishes a regional vineyard register, and assigns implementation responsibilities to regional authorities. It also includes monitoring and enforcement mechanisms—such as inspections, reporting obligations, and penalties—alongside provisions on data processing, and transitional arrangements.
