Vineyard
Vineyard Site
The vineyards around the former Winkelberg Castle slope southwards and are located on a plateau behind the edge of the Wagram. Beneath the thick, fertile loess cover lie cold-period terrace gravels of the Danube and, again beneath them, clayey-silty, Miocene marine sediments with sand packets that indicate periodic storm events.

Winery
Being a wine grower is both our vocation and our commitment. It is our calling to produce wines with character and sustainably; it is our commitment to future generations. The distinctive character is shaped by several factors and methods, and these are responsible for the uniqueness of our wines. This is significantly influenced by the wine-growing region of Wagram and its grape varieties; yet specifically characterised by biodynamics.
