Vineyard Site
This very special, small vineyard parcel is located within in the larger Ried Feiersteig. It was documented in the mountain ledgers of 1579 as the best vineyard parcel. This southeast-facing vineyard is characterised by pure, coarse-grained Leithakalk (Leitha shell limestone) with shallow humus cover. In this particularly meagre soil, the vines thrust their roots deep and produce grape bunches with small, aromatic grape berries. Cool breezes from the adjacent forest create a unique microclimate that lends wines depth, length and an inimitable aroma.
