Viticulture in Tirol is confined to a small number of isolated estates situated in climatically favoured sites, which makes a general description of soils and climate impossible.
Cultivated grape varieties and rootstocks should exhibit winter hardiness, late flowering, and high resistance to fungal diseases and rot, in order to meet the geological and climatic conditions of the region.
Human factors
The estates in the Tirol wine-growing region are organised as family operations, processing only their own estate-grown grapes, which they sell directly from the cellar door.
Terroir / wine link
Tirol's harsh climate is characterised by high diurnal temperature variation, which promotes a sound acid structure in the wines.
