Kremstal is a transitional region between the loess soils of Kamptal and the stone terraces of Wachau and the character of its wines depends greatly on vineyard location. The vineyards of Weingut Stadt Krems are within the city limits of Krems and its neighboring district of Stein where steep terraces face the Danube on primary rock-based soils.

Grüner Veltliner Kremstal DAC is a ‘Gebietswein’ or regional wine intended to capture the typicity of the Kremstal area. From mainly loess soils on terraced sites near Krems, this modern-styled Grüner Veltliner was vinified in stainless steel tanks and bottled after a short period resting on its fine lees.
