Kremstal

Kremstal

The Kremstal is one of Austria's oldest wine regions, beautifully blending history with modern viticulture. Picturesque vineyards, shaped by the Danube and enjoying a mild, temperate climate, stretch around the historic city of Krems. Here, wines with depth, elegance, and a truly unique character are produced.

Grüner Veltliner also dominates in the Kremstal region, but it presents itself differently than in neighboring regions: somewhat fruitier, more approachable, and with a harmonious balance between spice and freshness. The best vineyard sites, such as Pfaffenberg, Wachtberg, and Gebling, produce wines that enjoy international acclaim and are among the best in Austria.

But the Kremstal region has another ace up its sleeve: Riesling. On the ancient rock soils north of the Danube, this noble grape variety thrives, producing magnificent wines with fine acidity, mineral structure, and enormous aging potential. These Rieslings are not for those in a hurry – they need time to develop their full complexity.

The winegrowers in the Kremstal region work with respect for tradition and an eye to the future. Many wineries have been family-owned for generations, combining time-honored knowledge with modern oenological insights. The result is authentic wines that proudly reflect their origin.

Kremstal is named after the river Krems, which flows through the wine region and empties into the Kamp Valley. The nearly 2,400-hectare vineyard area runs through three distinct zones. These include the city of Krems itself, the small wine villages around Göttweig, and the Kremstal valley itself. Since 2007, Kremstal has held the DAC designation due to its spicy Grüner Veltliner and fine, mineral Rieslings. Grüner Veltliner now accounts for more than 50% of the total vineyard area in the Kremstal wine region. It is pressed on loess and loam soils on steep terraced vineyards along the Danube. The Kremser Sandgrube is also located in the Kremstal. It has been known since the year 1208 and produces the Austrian specialty known as "Pfefferl". A "Pfefferl" from the popular white grape variety Grüner Veltliner indicates a fruity taste with a peppery spice.
