Terroir
Natural factors
- At the Tegernheimer Schlucht east of Regensburg, Jurassic and primary rock meet, with one third of the vineyard area lying to the west in the Upper Palatinate Jura.
- On the highly permeable limestone west of the gorge, relatively heavy rendzina soils are found, with good calcium carbonate supply, mostly nutrient-rich and with good water retention.
- East of the Tegernheimer Schlucht, in the wine-growing communes of Tegernheim, Bach a.d. Danube, Kruckenberg, and Wörth a.d. Danube, two thirds of the area consists of coarse-grained, gravelly brown earths derived from the weathering of granite and gneiss.
- The vineyard sites lie almost exclusively on the slopes of the Jura and the Vorderer Bayerischer Wald facing the Danube, with gradients of up to 60 percent.
- A rapid warming in spring is typical of Regensburg, and due to its elevation of 339 metres above sea level, the mean annual temperature is 8 degrees Celsius.
