Terroir

• The subsoil of granite and Gneis from the Bohemian Massif defines the character of the Traisental.
• Pannonian influence and a continental climate are the dominant weather-shaping forces.
• Along the northern part of the winegrowing region, the Donau acts as a thermal moderator.
• Hot days and cool nights result from the contrast between the Pannonian climate and cold air descending from the Alpine foothills.
• Dry granite and Gneis soils yield wines with a powerful body and refined minerality.

• Family estates pass on their traditional winemaking style from generation to generation.
• Nearly one-third of the harvest is processed by the regional wine cooperative.

• Grüner Veltliner: fruit-forward with delicate spice; Riesling: aromatic, elegant, and mineral.
• Granite and Gneis soils deliver powerful body and refined minerality, while cool nights lend a spicy finesse.

• Granite and Gneis soils combined with Pannonian warmth and alpine cold air yield minerality, powerful body, and spicy finesse.
