Vineyard Site
Located next to a chalk quarry, the vineyard faces south-west and is therefore significantly influenced by the setting evening sun. Beneath a thin layer of brown earth, pure Leitha limestone emerges, which is so unique to this particular vineyard. The vines have been rooted in it for decades and the surrounding pine and oak forest ensures that this special place cools down at night.
