Vineyard Site
Directly on the banks of the Danube and adjacent to the medieval city walls of Dürnstein ripens the Superin, whose name refers to the "Superiorin", the head of the former women's monastery. The upper part, eroded from the Wunderburg vineyard, and the lower part of the site, very rich in energy due to deep rooting, combine to create an interplay full of minerality and profundity. Primary rock soil and Gföhler gneiss meet light alluvial sand and Danube gravel, which gives this vineyard a truly impressive single vineyard character.
