Lehensteiner

Wachau Riesling and Grüner Veltliner from Austria's Danube terraces.

Lehensteiner produces wines from Austria's Wachau region, where steep terraced vineyards along the Danube create distinctive conditions for white wine production. The winery focuses on two of the region's signature varieties: Riesling and Grüner Veltliner, both bottled at the Smaragd level—Wachau's designation for dry wines of maximum ripeness and complexity. The Pichl Point Smaragd Riesling and Achleiten Smaragd Grüner Veltliner represent the winery's core offerings, with the Ried Hinterkirchen Weissenkirchen Riesling Smaragd completing a portfolio rooted in specific vineyard sites. Falstaff has rated these wines, reflecting the precision and mineral character typical of Wachau's terroir-driven approach to white wine.
