***Grüner Veltliner craves Loess. The wine-growing region of Wagram received its new name in 2007, previously being known as Donauland***. The 2,451 hectares of vines are planted in two distinct zones; to the north and to the south of the Danube. The northern, actual Wagram part, is a massive terrain that stretches some 30km along the northern bank of the Danube as far as Kamptal, and the areas towards the south, encompasses the quaint villages around the Tullnerfeld region as well as the historic wine town of Klosterneuburg, just outside Vienna.

Loess Spring on the Wagram


Explanation:
Loess Spring on the Wagram
About 60 businesses in the Wagram region celebrate “Loess Spring” from mid-April till the end of May. Inns, wineries, excursion sights and restaurants invite visitors to explore and enjoy. The Wagram Treasure Map is your guide to this adventure rally. The treasure hunt is an entertaining way for wine, culture and nature enthusiasts to explore the mysteries of the typical loess landscape on their own during Wagram Loess Spring. One highlight of the Loess Spring is “Spring Awakening on the Wagram”, where the winemakers in the Wagram wine region open up their cellars in eight municipalities and invite visitors to sample the new vintages.

Or you can follow the advice in the Discussion Box ("Do not translate!"), but your English readers will go dizzy looking at the two umlauts.

So you sent 'Springtide in the Löss' as the the translation to your client?
Löss (DE) is not a place name here but rather the type of soil - loess (EN) - that is prevalent in the Wagram area.
