Principal grape varieties

Terroir

• Soils: heavy, sandy, loamy calcareous brown soils and lime-rich gravel soils characterise the region.
• The Wienerwald shields the area from northerly winds; climate: cold winters, hot dry summers, 1,800 sunshine hours, 650 mm of precipitation.
• North-west-facing slopes with heavy, calcareous soils favour white grape varieties such as Zierfandler, Rotgipfler, and Neuburger.
• Tattendorf and its surroundings: lean gravel soils promote red wine quality; red wine enclaves are also found in Sooß and Bad Vöslau.
• The highest point is the Anninger; the region extends from south of Vienna to south of Baden.

• Thermenregion was established in 1985 through the merger of the former appellations Gumpoldskirchen and Bad Vöslau. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)
• Vines are trained exclusively in high-trellis systems on wire frames.

• Lime-rich gravel soils in Tattendorf and its surroundings promote red wine quality; the heavy calcareous soils of the slopes favour white wines.
