Vineyard Site
The name Hallebühl goes back to "Hollerpirchl" and means elderberry hill; it is the highest elevation in the area east of Lake Neusiedl, at 128 m above sea level. The Celts already visited this intersection of earth rays and called it a "holy mountain". The pebbles of the soil are slightly reddish in colour and rich in iron with a moderate lime content. The soil is light, permeable and very warm.

Connected to the soil and always open to new things characterise our work.
The vineyards are cultivated expertly and ecologically, the grapes are harvested exclusively by hand and the wine is given plenty of time to develop in the cellar.
