Plan a wine trip to Eigl — Femente builds the route.
Eigl produces wines from Wachau, the steep-terraced valley in Niederösterreich where the Danube carves through ancient schist and granite. The winery works with the region's signature varieties: Riesling and Grüner Veltliner, both thriving in Wachau's cool continental climate and mineral-rich soils. The Riesling Steinerne Brucke Smaragd from Joching shows the precision and structure Wachau Rieslings are built for—aromatic, high-acid, with stone-fruit depth. The Ried Postaller and Joching Pichel Point Grüner Veltliners, both Federspiel-designated, express the white pepper, green apple, and herbaceous character the variety is known for across the region. Falstaff has rated these wines.
