Vineyard Site
Due to a Pannonian climate that is moderated by Lake Neusiedl, we are graced with the ability to produce white, red and sweet wines of the highest quality here on the Leithaberg. Warm, dry summers and cold, dry winters combine with the typical wind of Burgenland to shape the vegetation of our region.
