ABOUT THIS WINE
Winzer Krems is one of Austria's most significant wine producers, operating as a cooperative with a history deeply rooted in the city of Krems an der Donau. The estate at Sandgrube 13 serves as the headquarters for this historic winery, which traces its heritage back to the 'Hauerinnung Krems und Stein' guild established in 1442. This bottling features Neuburger, a rare, native Austrian grape variety. According to local lore, the original Neuburger vines washed ashore along the Danube River in the mid-19th century and were rescued and cultivated by local vintners, eventually becoming a cherished regional specialty.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes for this wine are 100% hand-picked from sustainably certified vineyards characterized by deep sand, gravel, and loess soils. To preserve the delicate and volatile primary aromatics of the Neuburger grape, the juice undergoes temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The wine is aged entirely in stainless steel with no oak contact, ensuring a clean, fresh, and terroir-driven expression of the variety.
