Eichinger Winery Kamptal Grüner Veltliner Wechselberg

A Grüner Veltliner that perfectly captures the essence of the Kamptal region: spicy, cool, mineral — and surprisingly complex for a classic entry into the Eichinger range.

Birgit Eichinger is one of the most reliable wineries in the Kamptal region. Her vineyards around Strass im Straßertale benefit from the continental climate with warm summer days and cool nights – particularly pronounced at the higher altitude of the Wechselberg, where the temperature differences sharpen the aromas and keep the acidity vibrant.

In the glass, the Wechselberg displays the typical Grüner Veltliner style of the region: ripe stone fruit (pear, mild apple), along with the characteristic peppery-minty coolness typical of good Kamptal Grüner Veltliners. A slightly smoky undertone and fine minerality give the wine depth. The finish is fresh, clean, and pleasantly long—well-balanced between fruit and spice.
