Kamptal 2026

The preparations were made by Annette, Eiko, Beate and Hannes. This time the approach was a little different: instead of visiting the wineries individually (the exception being Weingut Topf), we booked two tastings at the local wine shop Weinkontraste – one featuring only Grüner Veltliner, the other “Everything except Grüner Veltliner”.

This gave us a good overview of the region’s wines. The following wines were tasted:

• 2025 Birgid Eichinger Roter Veltliner
• 2022 Waldschütz Chardonnay Sebastian
• 2022 Waldschütz Weißburgunder Grosse Reserve
• 2025 Schloss Gobelsberg Riesling Zobig
• 2024 Birgid Eichinger Riesling Ried Gaisberg
• 2023 Allram Riesling Ried Gaisberg
• 2017 Hirsch Riesling Ried Gaisberg
• 2022 Weixelbaum Riesling Reid Heiligenstein
• 2024 Weszeli Grüner Veltliner Caractere
• 2025 Bründelmeyer Grüner Veltliner Ried Loiserberg
• 2023 Hirsch Grüner Veltliner Ried Gaisberg
• 2022 Weixelbaum Grüner Veltliner Ried Gaisberg
• 2024 Allraum Grüner Veltliner Ried Lammberg
• 2022 Waldschütz Grüner Veltliner Ried Grub
• 2020 Allraum Grüner Veltliner Ried Gaisberg
• 2025 Maglock-Nagel Grüner Veltliner Ried Gaisberg
• 2025 Birgid Eichinger Grüner Veltliner Ried Lamm
• 2024 Schloss Gobelsberg Grüner Veltliner Ried Lamm
• 2017 Hirsch Grüner Veltliner Ried Lamm
• 2022 Bründelmeyer Grüner Veltliner Ried Lamm

The highlight was certainly the tour of the wine cellars with a subsequent tasting at Weingut Topf – the cellars are among the most impressive we have been able to visit on our trips so far! But the wines, too, rank right alongside those of the other top wineries in the Kamptal and impressed with their complexity, power and elegance!

Our host for the overnight stay and the catering was Mo from the guesthouse Kaiser’s Hof in Straß – everything was simply perfect here! Rarely have we had such great accommodation and such good food on our wine trips – chapeau!

The supporting programme, with a guided tour of Stein, a visit to the cooper’s museum and a hike up the Gaisberg, was varied and extremely interesting!
