History
The Kellerberg Ried above Loiben is shared among estates; Domäne Wachau's large cooperative holdings include premium parcels on this site. The cooperative's size allows consistent Kellerberg Riesling Smaragd production across vintages.
- 1950 — Cooperative begins bottling Kellerberg Riesling Smaragd as a standalone site wine
- 2008 — Under the Domäne Wachau name, Kellerberg becomes part of the Premium Ried selection
