Feature
Kamp, wind and altitude
The river valley, cool air currents and varied elevations bring energy and tension into the wines.
Region
Kamptal
Kamptal adds its own tension to Grüner Veltliner and Riesling through the Kamp river, Heiligenstein, loess, primary rock and cool winds.
Although wachauwines.at starts from the Wachau, Kamptal is an essential neighbouring reference point. Langenlois, Zöbing, Gobelsburg, Strass and Kammern show how climate, altitude and soil shape Grüner Veltliner and Riesling. Heiligenstein, with its Permian sandstone and volcanic components, is one of Austria’s most distinctive vineyard sites.
