Kremstal Gruner Veltliner Rainer Wess 2020
The grapes for our estate wine come from the vineyards Gebling, Frechau und Thalland. The Gebling site was first mentioned in 1284. The wines from the Gebling location are mineral, strong and expressive. The soil consists of a weathered calcareous conglomerate partially covered with loess, which in turn is partially covered by gravel in places. The Frechau vineyards are located on the southeast-facing slope of an east-west oriented ridge. They are underlain by multiple layers of loess that can be up to 20 meters thick. The location of Thalland is very similar to the soil characteristics of the Frechau, but with a little more gravel in the soil, as the vineyards are located a little deeper.

More about this wine
Weingut Wess
With more than 2,200 hectares of vineyards, the Kremstal region includes the vineyards around the historic town of Krems, backing onto the neighbouring and famous Wachau region to the west, the Krems valley with its dense loess deposits to the east, and the small wine villages south of the Danube clustered around the imposing Göttweig Abbey. In 2003, Rainer Wess fulfilled his dream of producing quality wines bearing his signature and his name on the label, as they epitomise the typicality and regional character of the Kremsstal. The focus of the work falls on local specialities - the spicy Grüner Veltliner and the elegant and mineral-driven Riesling, which Rainer and now the next generation, daughter Christina, are turning into both fresh, aromatic and light wines but also serious and complex ones with long ageing potential..
