Vineyard Site
The Tatschler vineyard in Grosshöflein is a wind-protected basin site that faces south-east. Over the centuries, a massive layer of humus with limestone inclusions has formed, guaranteeing the vines optimum nutrient and water availability. This results in intense, aromatic wines with elegant acidity. The morning sun helps the grapes to dry quickly and optimally supports our organic farming methods. The surrounding forest to the north provides the necessary cooling with the cool, nocturnal winds.
