About This Wine
Boasting more than 550 years of history, Stadt Krems and Stift Goettweig’s Fritz Miesbauer has built up somewhat of a large reputation of himself after turning Domane Wachau into one of the world’s finest producers. After being awarded Falstaff’s Winemaker of the Year back in 2020, we are so excited to have his wines at CellarHand. Gruner Veltliner is a signature grape variety to Fritz and Stadt Krems Lössterrassen Gruner Veltliner from the Kremstal appellation provides an ideal enviroment for this deliciously fresh and spicy wine.
Krems is rich in loess-rich terraced slopes and offers an ideal breeding ground for the Grüner Veltliner grape variety. In this climate, a fresh, sparkling and spicy wine is created that is great fun to drink. This wine is the absolute classic of our winery! – Stadt Krems

About Austrian Wine
Austria is a country with over 4000 years of wine making history, however, it unfortunately doesn't seem to enjoy the status and popularity that the high quality of it's wines deserve. Decades later, the country is still feeling the effects of a scandal in 1985 that destroyed its credibility at the time.
Grüner Veltliner is the most important wine made in Austria, distinguished by its lightly fruity, noticeable spice and characteristic white pepper notes. This variety comprises roughly a third of all plantings. In terms of volume, Riesling plays a much smaller role than in Germany, but is responsible for some of the most appreciated dry white wines made in the country.
In red varietals, Austrian native varieties are dominant and include the tart and peppery Zweigelt, spicy and dense Blaufränkisch and juicy Saint Laurent.
