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 Stein Kremstal DAC Reserve is an ‘Ortswein’ or village-level wine intended to capture the typicity of Stein, a Stadtteil (district) of Krems. Stein borders the Wachau and marks the start of the primary rock-based soils that typify the Wachau. From two terraced vineyards: Steiner Altenberg with gneiss and slate; and Steiner Gaisberg with schist and amphibolite. Vinified in stainless steel tanks.
