The Vineyard
The Zöhrer family vineyards, some of which have been in family ownership for over 450 years, are situated around the wine town of Krems an der Donau on the exceptional left bank of the Danube in the Kremstal, approximately 70 km west of Vienna. The wooded hills of the Waldviertel shield the vineyards from icy northwesterly winds, while the sun warms the stony terraces during the day. At night, the fresh, aromatic forest air flows through the Kremstal into the Krems valley, creating a unique climate.
The combination of warm days and cool nights, the influence of the Danube, and the geological and climatic diversity of the vineyard sites contribute to the distinctive character of Zöhrer wines, recognized and esteemed internationally.
