Besides a pronounced fruity flavour and the typical classic taste of the varieties, digestibility is the main objective of Weingut Stadt Krems. The wines are intended to be sipped with pleasure, as a perfect accompaniment to meals, and to have nerve and vivacity even after several years of aging.
Such objectives should not be taken for granted, for we live in an age in whichever more powerful wines are being made. Although they dominate in wine-tasting sessions and competitions, they are seldom really pleasant to drink.
At Weingut Stadt Krems, we want to develop and uphold the special characteristics of Austrian white wine and, in particular, of wines from the Danube region: freshness, spiciness, finesse and complexity. With this in mind, the grapes at Weingut Stadt Krems are handpicked and carefully selected through several passes of harvesting.
The vinification process is performed with great care, and the wine is aged in stainless steel containers. Wine from classified sites is processed and aged in wooden barrels. The wines are absolutely natural, no additives are used. The flagships of Weingut Stadt Krems are Riesling and Grüner Veltliner, both in the Kabinett range (a special quality of wine). Both these wines stand for reliable quality, great drinking pleasure and perfect varietal characteristics.
In addition, four individual sites are planted separately. Such is the case with Veltliner at Weinzierlberg and Wachtberg, and with Riesling at Grillenparz and Kögl.
