Vineyard Site
The Zöbinger Kogelberg is an outlier of the Waldviertel high plateau, forming a broad north-south ridge marked by the Friedenskreuz and its descent toward the village of Zöbing to the southeast. The south-facing slope is terraced, where the pronounced temperature differences between intense daytime sunshine and the cool Waldviertel nights enhance the fine fruit expression of the wines. Geologically, the site is shaped by primary rock, mica schist, and amphibolite, creating meager, well-drained soils that impart a distinctive minerality to the wines.
