Wachau is one of the best wine regions in Austria. Both Grüner Veltliner and Riesling grapes are used here and can deliver fantastic wines.

Wachau has implemented their own system for classifying wines:

  • Steinfeder is a light wine, not very concentrated and would maybe compare to a light version of a Kabinett. It has a maximum alcohol level of 11.5%.
  • Federspiel is the next level, with an alcohol level of 11.5%-12.5%
  • Smargd is the top level in terms of quality, aging potential, price and alcohol levels (12.5% or more)

All these wine are vinified as dry wines, with maximum residual sugar levels of 9 grams/liter.

The vineyards  follow the Danube river, from Krems in the east to Spitz in the west.

The steep hills around the river rise up to an altitude of 500 m.
