Winery | The grapes come from the Spitz vineyard in Western Wachau. The vines are grown on steep hillside terraces, making up several Spitzer Graben vineyards. The vines are planted at a southwestern orientation. Cooling breezes help to keep the climate temperate. The soils are very sandy and have high heat retention properties. The soil’s composition is the result of weathering of the local rocks. It is dominated by pegmatite and calc-silicate gneisses, which have low water retention and help impart structure to the resulting wine. |
