The Gamlitz wine region is characterized by its gently rolling landscape with steep vineyards and sandy and gravelly soils interspersed with pebbles and calcareous marl. The vineyards lie at altitudes of 320 to 550 meters and benefit from warm, bowl-shaped slopes and cool hillsides. The wines, especially Sauvignon Blanc and Welschriesling, display ripe fruit aromas, delicate vegetal notes, and a refined acidity.
Gewürztraminer (or Yellow/Red Traminer, or simply Traminer) impresses – as the name suggests – with intense spice and exotic notes of yellow and red fruits and spices. The Klöch Traminer is particularly well-known, but this robust white wine can also be found elsewhere in Styria.
