The best wines from Kamptal in Austria

The vineyards in the Kamptal owe their name to the river Kamp that flows through it. It is one of the most prestigious Austrian wine districts. Some of the finest Rieslings and Grüner Veltliners are made here. The vineyards are mainly on terraces along the steep banks of the river.

The vineyards are mainly located on terraces along the steep banks of the river. Here too - as in almost all of Lower Austria - the Riesling and the Grüner Veltliner are in the majority. But if you come across a Pinot Blanc, a Pinot Noir (Weiß- and Spätburgunder in Austria) or a red Zweigelt from Kamptal, there is no reason not to enthusiastically pull the cork from the bottle!

The soil composition of Kamptal is varied, from Heiligenstein to loess, gravel and sandstone. Because the roots of the vines can reach six metres deep, the wines get a different character on each soil. If the roots have drunk water from stony soil, the wine appears minerally. But if the vineyards are on loess, the wine is often softer and spicier.
