VINODEA COLLABORATION | ANDREA SCHENTER

Kremstal, Austria

Having grown up in a winemaking family, Andrea Schenter was determined to be a winemaker. Once she discovered a beautiful terraced vineyard for sale in Senftenberg in the Krems valley, she and her partner purchased it and established @wein_s.at_andrea_schenter in 2017.

Moving from her home in the Kamp Valley to Kremstal, she acquired vineyards near the castle ruins of @burgruinesenftenberg in what’s known as the “white wine capital of Austria” and began making wine under her own name.

Her exceptional, hand-harvested wines are made in a traditional style of the region, but with a focus on the freshness and crystalline minerality driven by the diurnal temperature range and the Gneiss (bedrock stone), clay loess, and moisture-rich loam soils of her vineyards.

In addition to her Gruner Veltliner, Riesling and Zweigelt, Andrea is a champion of the region’s indigenous Neuberger varietal and is cultivating the thick-skinned white grape to produce model examples of the full-bodied, nutty, and spicy wines.

As a pioneering winzerin (female winemaker), Andrea is featured in Vienna’s Vinodea wine shop, where owner Madlaina Dosch curates Alpine wines exclusively made by women winemakers. Our bottling of Vinodea Gruner Veltliner is a collaboration between Vinodea, Andrea Schenter, and Archetyp, specifically to promote and support the important and growing role of women in wine.
