Gföhler Gneis
primary rock
These vineyards comprise steep, southeast-facing terraces that are close to the Danube River and hence exposed to wind and temperature extremes. The crystalline bedrock consists of Gföhler gneiss, mica schist and, in some areas, amphibolite. The soils are hard, stony and largely non-calcareous.
