A vineyard surrounded by forest. It really cools down here in the nighttime.
Ideal conditions for white wine.

while still keeping its elegance.
The soil has somewhat more loess and primary rock (granite) in the subsoil.

Wine Description
french
Winery
Three generations, three siblings, three spirits united: Maria, Ewald and Christian have found common ground in the family-run business in the western part of the Weinviertel region: wine. Whether in the vineyard, the wine cellar or in sales, each siblin concentrates on what they love and know best at the Gruber Röschitz winery. Wonderfully crisp Grüner Veltliner, fruity Riesling and delicately balanced St. Laurent and Pinot Noir grow in the organically cultivated micro-cosmos in Röschitz, Lower Austria. Granite, loess and clay soil as well as an airy and warm climate ensure unique freshness and minerality with fruitiness on the palate. The harmonious family atmosphere, combining traditional knowledge and new ideas, lends the wines a unique and harmonic character.
