Winzer Krems Grüner Veltliner Kremstal DAC 2023 – Austria

A textbook Grüner Veltliner from Kremstal DAC, bright, crisp, and ultra-refreshing. Expect orchard fruits like pear and green apple, layered with citrus zest and that signature hit of white pepper that defines the varietal.

Zippy acidity keeps it lively and food-friendly, while a subtle touch of tannin adds structure. Clean, dry, and palate-reviving, perfect chilled on a warm day or as a reset when your taste buds need a break. 🍐🍋⚡ Cheers! — 14 days ago

Winzer Krems – Sandgrube 13 – Grüner Veltliner – Chremisa Edition
Lower Austria (Niederösterreich), Austria

A wine steeped in history, this Chremisa Edition was created in 1995 to celebrate the 1,000-year anniversary of the City of Krems, first mentioned in 995 AD. It stands today as a quintessential representation of what Grüner Veltliner from Lower Austria can achieve — both in depth and distinction.

On the nose:
Expressive aromas of grapefruit, honeysuckle, and a signature hit of crushed white pepper, underpinned by a crisp mineral streak that gives this wine its backbone and poise.

On the palate:
Remarkable structure and freshness. This Grüner doesn’t just refresh l, it recalibrates the palate, offering a multi-dimensional experience. There’s a gentle spiciness, elegant texture, and perfectly pitched acidity that keep it focused and food-friendly.

Mouthfeel & Pairing:
Bright, balanced, and full of character. An all-rounder that pairs effortlessly with white meats (veal, rabbit, chicken), anything fried or baked (schnitzel, crispy mushrooms), and even cold appetizers. Or simply sip it solo, it shines just as beautifully as a “meditation wine.”

Conclusion:
A timeless Grüner that embodies both Austria’s winemaking heritage and a refreshing, modern charm. Not to be missed. 🍋🌿✨ — 6 days ago

Bright gold. Abundant, aromatic nose of honeyed yellow apple and wet stone. Smells sweeter than it really is. Medium bodied palate gives crisp yellow apple, honeysuckle, and stony minerality from entry to moderate finish. Medium plus acidity. Exquisite Austrian Riesling from Kremstal with all of the aromatics and complexity of — dare I say it? — a Wachau Smaragd. Wursts and pork dishes are the natural pairing, but the universal white is always ready for anything, including extra time in the cellar. Drink now through 2029. — 3 years ago

Our 2019 edition had Chremisa in large letters on the bottle and it was fabulous. It was different than any Gruner we’ve had. — 4 years ago
