Grüner Veltliner from Sandgrube 13 has been one of the most popular and successful wines in both Austria and Germany for decades.
Krems (OTS) – The leading German wine trade magazine “Weinwirtschaft” evaluates the most important wines on the German market every year and publishes them in January „Top 100 wines of the year”.
The Grüner Veltliner “Weinmanufaktur Krems” named the best white wine internationally by WINZER KREMS and at the same time the best wine from Austria!
WINZER KREMS – Sandgrube 13 shapes the category like no other winery in the world “White Wine International (LEH)”: The Grüner Veltliner “Weinmanufaktur Krems” has been on the winner’s podium since 2008 and is a multiple winner in this category. In this wine evaluation, in addition to the quality, the price-enjoyment ratio as well as the market importance and sales of the tested wines are taken into account in the overall result.
The original quote in “Weinwirtschaft – 1/2024” confirms this excellent result:
„With their Grüner Veltliner, the Krems winemakers can also impress as the best international white wine in the food retail sector, putting them even ahead of the popular Italians.
“
„The fact that our Grüner Veltliner was named the best international white wine on the German market impressively confirms the dedicated vineyard work and uncompromising quality philosophy of WINZER KREMS!
“, says the visibly proud managing director Ludwig Holzer. “This was the only way to ensure that prominent origins and grape varieties such as Lugana and Pinot Grigio were promoted.”
WINZER KREMS has had its own sales branch in Germany since 1972. More than 3 million bottles per year are sold in German restaurants, specialist retailers and upscale food retailers. This makes the winemakers from Sandgrube 13 the market leaders for Austrian bottled wines on the most important export market.
