Kremstal

Terroir

• Soils: slate weathering rock in the west, calcareous loess and gravel deposits near the river.
• East of Krems, south-facing loess terraces of high fertility characterise the landscape.
• Convergence of the Pannonian warm zone from the east and the attenuated climate of the Weinviertel highlands.
• Mean annual temperature 9.4 °C, average precipitation 540 mm.
• Soils derived from weathered primary rock in the west yield wines with mineral-driven fruitiness; loess terraces in the east produce rounder, fuller styles.

• Family structures safeguard a traditional winemaking style across successive generations.

• Grüner Veltliner: fresh, fruit-forward, with delicate spice; Riesling: aromatic, stone-fruit-scented, elegant, and mineral.
