Weingut David Harm is a haven for connoisseurs. "Life is about good wine and good food!" is a straightforward way for Katharina and David Harm to describe their motivation for their work at the family winery.
The winery, idyllically situated, elevated above the Danube, south of the city of Krems in the small village of Krustetten, is a delightful place for gourmets and wine lovers alike, an area for hiking, biking and, of course, a haunt for fine wine. The most famous varieties of the region are Grüner Veltliner and Riesling. These grow in the Krems Valley on a wide variety of soils. At the Harm winery, too, the vines are rooted in loess, gravel, primary rock, or conglomerate.
The Hollenburger Kreuzberg site is particularly charming. The rare conglomerate rock found there, which is gorgeously pink due to iron deposition, gives the Riesling Kreuzberg its unique scent and taste. "Capturing scents and tastes from all over the world is our passion, each site is allowed to epitomize itself in the wine and is given leisurely time to do so," David Harm tells us. "We rely on hand harvesting, organic and vegan vinification, spontaneous fermentation, wood and long aging." This diversity is also found in the vineyard, where an abundance of herbs, fruit trees, and insects, such as the vine hawk moth, which also adorns the logo, can be found.
