Harvest Begins: Grüner Veltliner in Focus
As mid-September unfolds, the Kremstal region awakens to the anticipation of harvest. The first grapes to meet careful hands are the Grüner Veltliner, picked by hand and gathered in small crates. This method safeguards the integrity of each berry and ensures the nuanced character of the vintage is retained.
Riesling from the Terraces: The Grand Finale
Patience marks the final act of harvest. Only by late October do the Riesling grapes reach their full expression on the terraced vineyards. These blue-grey soils, shaped by millennia, impart freshness and depth to the wine—a reflection of their origin and the year’s temperament.
- Hand harvesting in small batches for precision
- Keller tours available on weekends during harvest
- Distinct picking times according to grape variety and location
“Each crate of handpicked grapes holds the promise of a unique vintage—terroir distilled by time and patience.”
