Richard Walzer

Kremstal Grüner Veltliner from Austria's Danube valley terraces.

Richard Walzer works in Kremstal, a riverside valley in Niederösterreich where Grüner Veltliner thrives on terraced slopes and ancient soils. The region's cool continental climate and mineral-rich bedrock shape wines of precision and structure. Walzer's Alte Reben Grüner Veltliner draws from older vines, expressing the depth that age and careful viticulture can bring to Austria's signature white. The Ried Wolfsgraben Grüner Veltliner, sourced from a single vineyard site, captures the site-specific character that defines serious Austrian winemaking. Both wines have been assessed by Falstaff. Grüner Veltliner from Kremstal typically shows white stone fruit, green apple, and a distinctive white pepper note, with the acidity and mineral spine that make the variety compelling across food and seasons.
