Kremstal DACRied Kirchensteig 1ÖTW 2019

From time immemorial, the villagers have been strolling past this old vineyard site on their way to church on Sundays. It is therefore no secret how this vineyard received its name – “Kirchensteig” signifies “the path to church”. Much like in the Steinleithn site, the vines are anchored in a thin layer of topsoil with very poor granulite soils beneath. Which is exactly where Riesling can unfurl its full potential and where we can expect great things. Every year we are rewarded with taut and elegant wines full of finesse, fine peach notes, herbaceous spice and an excellent ageing potential. It is with good reason that Kirchensteig is known as one of the best sites on the southern side of the Danube.
