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.
