The wine-growing regions in Vorarlberg extend from Bregenz through Röthis and Feldkirch to the foothills of the Arlberg at Bludesch, with only a small number of producers making wine in climatically favoured sites.
Human factors
The grape varieties and rootstocks cultivated should exhibit winter hardiness, late flowering, and high resistance to fungal diseases and rot in order to be suited to the geological and climatic conditions.
The winegrowers in Vorarlberg are organised as family operations, processing only grapes from their own production, which they sell directly to customers at the farm gate.
Product characteristics
The harsh climate, with large diurnal temperature variation, ensures a well-defined acid structure in the wines, while a uniform organoleptic profile cannot be established due to the small-scale, fragmented vineyard areas.
