Golden vineyards above the Danube
Golden vine leaves, sunshine on the terraces and the Danube below us: our little outing to Spitz took Sabine and me up the Tausendeimerberg. Along the way we took some photos and made time to enjoy the views of the Wachau in autumn.
A wine break at the small stone hut
A small stone hut particularly stayed in our minds. Inside is a fridge with wine to take on a self-service basis. Payment goes into a small cash box. During our visit we found and tried a Gelber Muskateller ‘Terrassen’ from Weingut Gebetsberger. I enjoyed it very much.
A Muskateller with the view
Weingut Gebetsberger in Spitz also lists its Gelber Muskateller ‘Terrassen’ in its own range. The wine’s name is clearly visible in our bottle photo, but the vintage is not.
Falstaff’s tasting of the 2025 vintage provides an indication of its character, mentioning elderflower, peach and citrus notes alongside lively acidity. These are researched descriptions of that vintage, not our own detailed tasting notes for the bottle we drank.
For us it was a lovely outing together, with a short wine break among the terraces. The pictures show how much autumn colour remained in the vineyards around Spitz that day.
A note for your visit
The stone hut is not a staffed inn. Our report describes the self-service arrangement during our visit; we cannot promise that it is continuously stocked or open.
