Producer & Terroir
Family-owned since 1868, Forstreiter is based in Hollenburg on the southern banks of the Danube in Krems. Its Kremstal setting brings together cool, moist influences from the Waldviertel and warm, dry winds from the Pannonian lowlands, a contrast the estate credits with giving its wines complexity, finesse and distinctive fruit and spice.

Producer Notes
The southeasternmost district of Austria‘s ‘capital city of white wine’ – Krems – lies on the southern banks of the Danube River. The Forstreiter estate is situated here, in the idyllic winegrowing community of Hollenburg, family-owned since 1868 and thus proud to look back on a long tradition. They live and work in a place that is extraordinarily rich in viticultural history, with official records dating back to the year 400 AD.
Much like the neighbouring vineyards of the Wachau Valley and the nearby Kamptal, the Kremstal also benefits from the dynamic tension in climate systems, between the cool and moist influences from the nearby Waldviertel and the warm, dry winds rising from the Pannonian lowlands to the east. These contrasts in temperature inspire the vines to breathe, causing the grapes to accumulate more substance (and therefore more complexity and finesse than they might do elsewhere), yielding wines that are captivating for their minerality, spiciness and depth of fruit – all adding up to unmistakable and distinctive flavour profiles.
Food Pairing Suggestions
Try with roast pork, duck, mushroom dishes or herb-roasted chicken. These savory dishes make natural companions for the wine's plum fruit and earthy spice.

Prior Vintage Expert Reviews
Expert Review - Prior Vintage 2018
Wine Enthusiast 93 Points | Notes of ripe, juicy, fleshy plum and ripe black cherry marry on the fruity nose. The palate follows through and presents vivid, juicy, smoke-tinged plum with a hint of toastiness. The body is smooth and curvy, with a fine contour of vivid freshness. An elegant red with potential. Drink now–2032.
Wine Spectator 89 Points | A meaty, brooding style, this red boasts blackberry, plum, bacon and spice flavors. Intense, without heaviness with a fresh acidity that keeps it going. Drink now through 2025. 800 cases made, 200 cases imported.
