The 2025 Stadt Krems Lössterrassen Grüner Veltliner is a fresh Austrian white from the loess-rich terraced slopes around Krems. The nose is bright and varietal, showing green apple, pear and citrus with delicate herbal notes and Grüner Veltliner’s characteristic peppery spice. The deep loess soils help give the wine its approachable fruit and gently rounded texture.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied and dry, with crisp acidity and juicy orchard fruit. Apple and citrus flavours are complemented by savoury spice and a subtle mineral edge, leading to a clean, lively finish. At 12% alcohol with 2.8 g/L residual sugar, it retains a distinctly fresh and balanced profile.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for Grüner Veltliner drinkers who enjoy fresh Austrian whites with crisp fruit and subtle peppery spice. Best enjoyed young, with the producer suggesting a drinking window through 2028. Pair with Wiener schnitzel, roast chicken, sushi, dim sum, grilled fish or fresh salads.
