<P> The Wachau valley is well known for its production of apricots and grapes , both of which are used to produce specialty liquors and wines . The wine district 's rolling vineyards produce complex white wines . Wachau is a source of Austria 's most prized dry Rieslings and Grüner Veltliners , some of the best from the steep stony slopes next to the Danube on which the vines are planted . The temperature variation in the valley between day and cold nights has a significant role to play in the process of ripening of the grapes . The heat retained in the water and the stoney slopes with thin soil cover facilitates this process of growing fine variety of grapes , which results in the sophisticated wines produced in the valley . Since rainfall is not adequate for the growth of wines on thin soils , irrigation is an essential requirement to give water supply to the wine yards . </P>
