Kremstal, located just downstream from the Wachau along the Danube River, is one of Austria’s leading wine regions, known for its diverse soils and elegant, expressive wines. Centered around the historic town of Krems, the region benefits from a mix of loess, primary rock, and gravel soils, as well as a transitional climate influenced by both the cool Waldviertel and the warmer Pannonian plain. Grüner Veltliner and Riesling are the dominant varieties, producing wines that range from vibrant and mineral to generous and textured. With its blend of tradition, terroir, and modern winemaking, Kremstal offers some of Austria’s most compelling dry whites.
