Dusty

Common name in Austria for a wine immediately after fermentation, when clarification has not yet been completed. The name is derived from the fact that the wine is still cloudy ("dusty"). Since 2018, this has been a wine type defined by wine law. Such a wine may only be marketed as a varietal wine without indicating a closer origin than Austria (i.e. not as a Landwein or quality wine).

Sturm - 3 Gläser mit Sturm, Staubiger, Jungwein

It must not be confused with the only partially fermented Sturm. The term staubig (dusty ), on the other hand, means an extremely dry vinification (meaning "so dry that it is dusty"). See also under winemaking.
