Terroir
Natural factors
- Geologically divided into two zones: to the west, Jurassic limestone with heavy rendzina soils; to the east, granite and gneiss weathering with coarse-grained brown earths.
- The slope gradient of the vineyard sites facing the Danube reaches up to 60% – pronounced Steillage terrain.
- Numerous Föhn days raise annual sunshine hours to an average of 1,646 per year.
- Bohemian and Pannonian climatic influences bring fine days but also cool nights and severe winter frosts.
- The warming trend of the past 25 years has made late-ripening grape varieties viable for cultivation in the region.
Human factors
- Steilllagen with gradients of up to 60% define viticulture along the Danube-facing slopes of the Jura and the Bavarian Forest.
- Föhn days and Bohemian-Pannonian influences shape the mesoclimate; climate warming has made late-ripening grape varieties viable.
