Description
Weingut Stadt Krems is one of Austria’s oldest wineries, founded in 1452 to support the hospital of Krems and still owned by the municipality today. Over the centuries, the estate has evolved into a benchmark producer for the Kremstal region, known for wines that express the area’s loess-rich soils, cool Danube influence, and mineral precision. Since 2003, winemaker Fritz Miesbauer and his team have modernized the estate while sharpening its focus on precise, site-driven Grüner Veltliner and Riesling that reflect the terroir; resulting in clean, expressive wines that balance freshness, texture, and regional character.
Stadt Krems farms this Grüner Veltliner from certified sustainable vineyards in the Kremstal region. The 2024 is made in a clean, modern style, fermented in stainless steel, and rested briefly on fine lees before bottling, resulting in a dry, crisp white wine with varietal purity and a light-textured finish. Bright and refreshing, it opens with green apple, pear, white pepper, and a hint of citrus zest. The palate is crisp and finely textured, with juicy orchard fruit, subtle herbal notes, and a clean mineral edge.
