| Foreign Region | Country: Austria Region: Wachau |
| Grapes | Grüner Veltliner (100%) |
| Soil | The grapes originate from a sustainable managed vineyard site Alte Point in the Wachau. This single vineyard is located in the south-eastern part of the Wachau wine region between the Roman village of Mautern and the Göttweig Abbey. The warm climate in this basin location supports the ripening process of the grapes. The minerality of this Veltiner is given by the weathered rock that extends throughout the soil. The subsoil consists of warm gravel from the former Danube river flow. |
| Winemaking | The grapes were selectively hand-picked, destemmed and pressed without long maceration. This resulted in a very fruity-fresh must with a pleasant spiciness. The fermentation was completed in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. After a short time on the fine lees, the wine was racked, filtered and stored in steel tanks until bottling. |
| Aging | Stainless steel tanks. |
| Capacity | 750 ml |
| Volume | Alcohol by Volume: 12,5% |

The winery is located in the southern part of the Kremstal wine region in the picturesque village of Krustetten. The estate was first mentioned in the archive of nearby Göttweig Abbey as early as 1270 a.d. as a Lesehof which translated means “wine press house” and has been run as a family business by the Müller family since 1936.
In 1936, Leopold Müller, grandfather of Leopold and Stefan Müller who now manage the estate, acquired a small vineyard in Krustetten and made the first Müller wine. Nowadays, the 3rd and 4th generation of Müllers is managing the estate, which now encompasses a proud 120 hectares of prime vineyards. Leopold and Stefan, together with the entire Müller family, relentlessly work to ensure the best possible quality wines.
They meet the strict criteria of the “Sustainable Austria” certification. The program is based on three pillars: Ecology, Economy, and Social Aspects.
