Vineyard Site

Documented since 1455, this southeast-facing vineyard is situated high above the castle park of Eisenstadt and extends to the edge of the Leithaberg forest. Proximity to the forest causes large diurnal temperature fluctuations and together with Leithakalk (Leitha shell limestone), ideal conditions prevail to slowly ripen the Sankt Laurent variety to full maturity. This Sankt Laurent vineyard yields very elegant, finely spiced red wines each year.
