Riesling Alter Reben Krems Rainer Wess 2021

Weingut Wess

With more than 2,200 hectares of vineyards, the Kremstal region includes the vineyards around the historic town of Krems, backing onto the neighbouring and famous Wachau region to the west, the Krems valley with its dense loess deposits to the east, and the small wine villages south of the Danube clustered around the imposing Göttweig Abbey. In 2003, Rainer Wess fulfilled his dream of producing quality wines bearing his signature and his name on the label, as they epitomise the typicality and regional character of the Kremsstal. The focus of the work falls on local specialities - the spicy Grüner Veltliner and the elegant and mineral-driven Riesling, which Rainer and now the next generation, daughter Christina, are turning into both fresh, aromatic and light wines but also serious and complex ones with long ageing potential..
