Richard Walzer is a rising voice in the Kremstal, producing site-specific wines that lean into varietal clarity and freshness. This Grüner Veltliner comes from the southeast-facing Ried Kapuzinerberg, a vineyard defined by gravel and loess soils at mid-slope elevation. With a focus on clean vinification and stainless steel aging, the wine shows a precise, modern expression of Grüner from a young but promising site.
