The “ÄRZTBERG” was first named as a wine-producing single-vineyard site in a deed dating back to 1382. The soil – as the original name in German suggests – is rich in ore. Due to the difficulties associated with the cultivation of this steep vineyard, viniculture on the Atzberg was abandoned in the 1950s after a good 700 years. The renowned Wachau expert wine pastor Hans Denk (†) always attributed a quality to the site that is unique in the Wachau, which is why, starting in 2008, this outstanding site was recultivated with a great deal of work by hand and countless steps.
