Vineyard Site
The name Mordthal is based on the discovery of mammoth bones and stone tools, which indicate mammoth hunting. The vineyards sloping down to the southwest and the valley protected from the west offer optimal conditions. Sand and gravel overlaid by a layer of loess with crystalline rocks from an old Danube course characterise the subsoil of the site.
