Kamptal
See Kamptal producers See a list of Kamptal wines
Kamptals vineyards in Lower Austria lie around the river Kamp, running north-east from the Wachau, but the region is dominated by the dramatic hill of Heiligenstein, around which the regions finest vineyards are to be found.
Without the moderation of the Danube, this is a hotter, drier region. Riesling and Grüner Veltliner are still important, although other varieties, including red, make an appearance. The wines are fleshier but more accessible than those of the Wachau, but also manage to accentuate the spicy notes to be found in these varieties.
Recommended Producers:
Willi Bründlmayer was one of the first to make a name internationally, but his friend Michael Moosbrugger at Schloss Gobelsburg makes arguably the most complex wines of the region. Weingut Hiedler offers fine value for money.

Kittsmannberg is the grown-up version of ‘Loss’. It’s a single vineyard wine that boasts fruit from older vineyards, so naturally much lower yields – in fact down 40% versus 2008. It was not irrigated in 2009 due to the combination of old vine roots & loss soil. As a result the wine has ... MORE |
