Kremstal

Kremstal is a wine region of Niederösterreich, Austria.

Grüner Veltliner leads the plantings, with Riesling alongside it.

The ground underneath is clay, gneiss and granite.

The climate is continental.

The vineyards themselves read as hills and riverside.

Dry white wine, sweet white wine and red wine is what the region is known for, and in the glass it shows showcasing the grape’s varietal character, balancing acidity and richness, ripe and juicy and berry flavors, plus one more.

Labels here fall under the Kremstal DAC.

At the table these bottles work with white fish, chicken, pasta with cream sauces and vegetable dishes.

Serve at 8 to 10°C.

Keeps for 5 to 10 years.
