FROM THE SINGLE VINEYARD
TO PRECISION IN THE GLASS

Wine has been cultivated here for more than 500 years: Ried Frauengrund, one of the Kremstal’s oldest vineyards, is perfect for classic Grüner Veltliner. Its meters-thick Ice Age loess stores water and nutrients exceptionally well, while also giving the wines a delicate, refined spiciness.

One of the most renowned vineyards in the Kremstal, Gottschelle sits on a plateau at the foot of Göttweig Hill and is full of fascinating contrasts. In many areas, the Ice Age loess reaches several meters in thickness, while in other spots the crystalline subsoil dominates, as in our steep northern terraces. The gneiss and granulite rocks lend the wines a distinctive saline character. The temperature contrasts are striking as well: warm and sunny by day, while at night, cool breezes from the surrounding forests bring freshness and relief.
The name Gottschelle derives from Goetschen, a term in Salzburg dialect meaning “sharp ridges on a mountain crest.”

True to its name, Hollenburger Goldberg is a treasure among our vineyards. Its unique position — sunny yet surrounded by cooling forests — makes it ideal for Riesling. The special microclimate, with pronounced temperature swings, further enhances its suitability. The soils are shaped by the conglomerates of the Hollenburg-Karlstetten Formation, composed of materials once carried here by the ancient Traisen River — consolidated stones, gravel, and sand, overlaid by Ice Age loess.

An ideal site for spicy, elegant Grüner Veltliner, Ried Kogl takes root on the sparse conglomerates of the Hollenburg-Karlstetten Formation and limestone-influenced loess. This contributes to the wines’ characteristic minerality. The term Kogl refers to a conical hill. The vineyard’s terraces vary in elevation, reaching up to 315 meters above sea level, and are bordered on several sides by cool forested zones. These factors cause significant nighttime temperature drops, enhancing both fruit expression and elegance.

Our coolest site — pure cool climate. Ried Leiten is made up of countless small parcels, stacked atop one another to form a unified whole. The slope is so steep that some terraces are only a few rows wide. The microclimate in our vineyards is extremely cool, with a trench and natural spring running directly beneath them. Large temperature swings between day and night add further complexity. These conditions are ideal for Riesling, which can fully develop its character and ripeness here.

One vineyard, many layers: small terraces stack upon one another, all facing southeast. The vines grow partly on weathered granulite, but mostly on deep loess – Ice Age rock dust that stores water and nutrients exceptionally well. In our Neuberg vineyards, the loess also contains a significant proportion of limestone. This allows the grapes at Neuberg to ripen consistently, producing Grüner Veltliner with ripe fruit aromas, elegance, and a refined spiciness.

True to its name, the Kremstal vineyard Oberfeld sits above Mautner Feld, a site already counted among the Wachau vineyards. Perched on a plateau between Göttweig Hill and the Danube, its soils of solid, calcareous loess lay the foundation for wines of remarkable depth and longevity.

A vineyard with history — first mentioned as a single site in 1562. Its name derives from the mica (silver) found in the deeper soil layers and its location on a hill (Bichl). Our vineyards are situated on the Kremstal side, where the soil is leaner. Combined with a south-east-facing aspect, this creates ideal conditions for Riesling.

The Ried Alte Point vineyard lies just south of the historic Roman town of Mautern an der Donau. Warm sunshine and soils shaped by Danube gravel create ideal conditions for elegantly spiced Grüner Veltliner with a smooth, supple texture and refined mouthfeel.

Leukuschberg stretches between the historic Roman town of Mautern an der Donau and Göttweig Abbey, spanning both Kremstal and Wachau slopes. Nestled in the Wachau, our vineyards produce Grüner Veltliner with a distinctive mineral elegance, shaped by the weathered rock in the soils.

Süßenberg is the oldest documented vineyard site we cultivate, with vines planted here as early as 893. The vineyard lies in the municipality of Mautern an der Donau in the Wachau wine region. Abundant sunshine and soils formed from weathered rock lend the wines depth, power, and structure — whether Grüner Veltliner or Riesling.

Sun, wind, and limestone-rich soils — the gentle slopes of Fuchaberg are perfect for Burgundy varieties, including our Chardonnay. Here, the vines take root deep in the lean, weathered rock, overlaid with Ice Age loess, resulting in wines of character, elegance, and finesse.
