Vineyard: Ried Kollmitz
Kollmitz is a single-vineyard in the Wachau village of Joching. The first records of this prime vineyard site date back to 1151 when it was originally called “Cholmunz”. Kollmitz is known for the vines planted directly on slopes that were carved directly into the deep loess soil without any supportive mounting. Grüner Veltliner thrives and prospers extremely well on this mix of loess and brown slate. The wines are particularly spicy and display a high level of elegance. Kollmitz reaches up to approximately 130 metres above the Danube.
