The Käferberg vineyard overlooks Langenlois and is to Gruner Veltliner what the Heiligenstein vineyard is to Riesling - world famous. The roots of the 62-year-old vines grow deep in a very rocky soil and bring a special saltiness in the wine. It is a sunny vineyard, but also very windy. The...

Heiligenstein, the most famous vineyard in the Kamptal, is legendary for Riesling. The terraced south and southwest facing slope has a unique geological history and it's unusual that soil this old is at the surface of the earth. The outcropping bedrock consists of a reddish-brown sandstone with a...

Facing southeast, Holzagasse is located 1000 feet above sea level on top of a hill and, because of the steepness of the site, the vineyard has to be terraced. The vines range from twenty to fifty years old and the soil is pure löss. The fruit here ripens later than Gebling, but Buchegger harvests...

Mainly Riesling, Welschriesling and Zierfandler made in one 750-litre barrel with minimal intervention. A slightly cooler cellar corner, a little more air contact, no filtration, no added sulphur; the finished result was a wine completely different to that of previous years. Innocent, almost clear...

This Gemischter Satz is named Kosmopolit as it comes from five sites on both sides of the Danube in Vienna. The grapes are picked on the same day by two teams, each consisting of approximately ten to twelve people. In the evening, all of the grapes go into the press together and the next day after...

From a single parcel on the right side of the Danube with Ambrositsch’s oldest vines, planted in the 1950’s. It’s a mix of ancient varities that are not known and twelve that are familiar, some of them rare. Brenna Quigley, a reknowned geologist, explained in a recent AWMB seminar that these marl ...

Ambrositsch described the soil as creamy and stinky, mainly with slate and...

The part of single-vineyard Zieregg where the Morillon is planted changes from limestone to marl, which has more heat storage capacity and is ideal for a full-bodied wine. Cool winds also favor the aromatic expression of the grape. After natural fermentation, the wine was aged for 20 months on the...
