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.

Winery
Being a wine grower is both our vocation and our commitment. It is our calling to produce wines with character and sustainably; it is our commitment to future generations. The distinctive character is shaped by several factors and methods, and these are responsible for the uniqueness of our wines. This is significantly influenced by the wine-growing region of Wagram and its grape varieties; yet specifically characterised by biodynamics.
