Vineyard Site
The top Straß location Gaisberg is a southern foothills of the Manhartsberg and is built up from primary rock soils of the Bohemian Massif. In the lower layers loam and loess soils overlap the old crystalline rocks. In the north, the densely wooded Manhartsberg protects against cold currents, which is why the harmonious combination of good climatic conditions with the southern hillside location and ideal soils produces outstanding wines.
