TERROIR:
SÜDSTEIERMARK (AUSTRIA)
Welcome to the soil of mineral facts.
The winery’s vines are very old and stand deeply rooted on a limestone reef of dead coral banks that is around 15 million years old, so the soil is the purest shell limestone, the likes of which is rarely found in the world.
And the climate can also be called unique, because here, and especially above the winery, the alpine marginal climate meets the heat of Pannonia. This leads to extreme temperature changes. Somtimes up to 20 degrees celcius between day and night.
This doesn’t always make the work easy, but it rewards you with wines that have strong character and great aging potential.
Jürgen is organically cultivating 25 acres and is producing around 45,000 bottles per year.
