Stadt Krems Kremstal Grüner Veltliner

Stadt Krems Kremstal Grüner Veltliner

Wine Description

Weingut Stadt Krems was founded in 1452 as a source of revenue for the hospital of Krems and is one of the oldest wineries in Austria. The municipality of Krems still owns the 560-year-old winery and is today one of the best in the region. Farming practices are ‘Certified Sustainable,’ and the estate belongs to the prestigious Traditionsweingüter.

Kremstal is a transitional region between the loess soils of Kamptal and the stone terraces of Wachau and the character of its wines depends greatly on vineyard location. The vineyards of Weingut Stadt Krems are within the city limits of Krems and its neighboring district of Stein where steep terraces face the Danube on primary rock-based soils.

Grüner Veltliner Kremstal DAC is a ‘Gebietswein’ or regional wine intended to capture the typicity of the Kremstal area. From mainly loess soils on terraced sites near Krems, this modern-styled Grüner Veltliner was vinified in stainless steel tanks and bottled after a short period resting on its fine lees.
