Vineyard Site
The vineyards around the former Winkelberg Castle slope southwards and are located on a plateau behind the edge of the Wagram. Beneath the thick, fertile loess cover lie cold-period terrace gravels of the Danube and, again beneath them, clayey-silty, Miocene marine sediments with sand packets that indicate periodic storm events.
