Vineyard Site
Located below the Tatschler vineyard, the Setz vineyard in our winery has a unique feature. It is the only vineyard that has a significant amount of slate. Documented since 1569, grapes with a special aroma grow here. Unlike all our wines grown on Leithakalk, the weathered slate imparts a cool freshness and profound elegance to this wine. The south-facing orientation of the vineyard and the resulting sunlight during long late summer days allow the grapes to ripen optimally until autumn.
