Weingut Stadt Krems sits in the Kremstal, a steep-terraced corner of Austria's Niederösterreich region where Riesling thrives on slate and loess soils. The winery's portfolio centers on Riesling in varied expressions: the Ried Grillenparz Exceptional Lieblich captures the grape's capacity for sweetness and complexity, while the Ried Schreck and Schieferterrassen Reserve showcase the mineral precision and structure that define the region's dry styles. The slate terraces that give the Schieferterrassen its name are the geological signature of Kremstal, imparting distinctive flinty notes to wines grown there. Weingut Stadt Krems's Rieslings have drawn attention from major critics including Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, Decanter, and Falstaff, reflecting the technical caliber of winemaking in this historic Austrian valley.
