Winzer Krems – Grüner Veltliner – Chremisa Edition
Lower Austria (Niederösterreich), Austria 🇦🇹
Overview
Created in 1995 to honor the 1,000-year anniversary of the City of Krems (first recorded in 995 AD), the Chremisa Edition has become a flagship expression of Austrian Grüner Veltliner. It shows why this grape, deeply rooted in Lower Austria, is revered worldwide: structured, spicy, mineral-driven, and endlessly food-friendly.
Aromas & Flavors
Bright aromas of grapefruit, honeysuckle, and orchard blossoms, lifted by Grüner’s signature white pepper note. On the palate, it’s refreshing yet layered, with citrus zest, green apple, and a mineral streak that gives precision and elegance.
Mouthfeel
Medium-bodied, lively, and perfectly balanced. Acidity cleanses and recalibrates the palate, while a subtle spiciness adds dimension. Crisp yet textured, finishing long with finesse.
Winemaking Notes
Produced under the Sandgrube 13 label of Winzer Krems, one of Austria’s most historic cooperatives. Grapes are sourced from vineyards along the Danube with loess and primary rock soils, ideal for showcasing Grüner’s minerality. Stainless-steel vinification preserves freshness and typicity.
Food Pairing
An all-rounder: pairs beautifully with schnitzel, roast chicken, or veal; also great with baked mushrooms, Asian cuisine, or tangy vinaigrette salads. Can be enjoyed as an aperitif or even as a “meditation wine” on its own.
Verdict
A timeless Grüner — layered, spicy, refreshing — bridging Austria’s thousand-year wine heritage with today’s palate.
📚 Educational Sidebar – Austria’s Grüner Legacy
Grüner Veltliner is Austria’s signature white grape, covering nearly one-third of all vineyards. Famous for its peppery spice, bright acidity, and food-pairing versatility, it thrives in regions like Kremstal, Kamptal, and Wachau. Look for styles ranging from light “Steinfeder” to powerful, age-worthy “Smaragd” in Wachau classifications.
