Principal grape varieties

Terroir

• In the western parts of Vienna, in the districts of Ottakring, Hernals, and Pötzleinsdorf, calcareous soil types predominate.
• In the south, towards Mauer, Rodaun, and Oberlaa, the subsoil consists mainly of chernozem soils.
• The climate is significantly shaped by continental and Pannonian influences, which allow for complete grape ripeness.

• The predominantly family-run structure of wine estates ensures the transmission of traditional winemaking styles across generations.
• Vienna is the only European capital with significant wine production, cultivated by around 400 wine-growing estates across 588 hectares. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)

• On the calcareous soils of western Vienna, Riesling, Chardonnay, and Weißburgunder develop into fruit-driven wines.
• The chernozem soils in the south of the city are well suited to full-bodied white wines and opulent red wines.
