Description

Austria / Kremstal / Steiner Schreck vineyard

Heidelinde and Markus Lang have been cultivating their 2.5-hectare vineyards in an uncompromisingly natural way from the very beginning. Even in the cellar, intervention is kept to a minimum. The trained mechanical engineer designed his wine press himself, based on a historical model from Roman times. It is operated manually and stands above an abandoned tunnel where the winemaking couple has set up their wine cellar. Only by gravity does the must flow directly into the barrels in the cellar. Here, the wines are given plenty of time to develop. Fermentation occurs spontaneously through natural yeasts, the wine matures for many months on the full lees, and even the bottled wines are given a resting period before they go on sale. This results in long-lived, precise, characterful, simply magnificent wines.

HM Lang

HM Lang is an up-and-coming estate from the Kremstal, one of Austria’s most exciting white-wine regions. The vineyards benefit from the interplay of Pannonian warmth and cool Danube freshness, creating a long growing season and intense aromatic development. Soils of loess, gravel and calcareous sediments shape the wines with fine minerality and tension. Grüner Veltliner and Riesling are at the centre and show particular clarity, tautness and aromatic precision here. Red wines such as Zweigelt impress with freshness, elegance and fine-grained tannins. Careful handwork and gentle vinification result in characterful, balanced Kremstal wines with regional identity and great drinking pleasure.

Origin in Focus

Kremstal

Kremstal in Lower Austria combines the cool Danube climate with diverse soils of loess, conglomerate and primary rock – ideal for elegant, precise white wines. Grüner Veltliner, from juicy-peppery to powerful, and Riesling, crystal-clear and stony-mineral, take centre stage. Wide day-night temperature differences preserve freshness and aromatics, while sunny terrace sites bring ripeness and structure. Stylistically, the spectrum ranges from highly drinkable village wines to dense, long-lived single-vineyard wines with a clear terroir signature.
