The vineyards stretch across the rolling hills of the Leitha Mountains.
At the moment they are cultivating 12 acres with an output of 20,000 bottles per year.
Only real fillet pieces are pressed for the Leithakalk Estate wines; the rest of the grapes, especially from the young vineyards, are sold. Harvested with low yields per hectare and attach great importance to strict selection of the highest quality of grapes.
They belive good wines are made in the vineyard and not in the cellar.
Characterized by the typical Leitha limestone, very firm wines with firm minerals are created. Due to the high proportion of slate in the soil, their wines are compact and rich in finesse.
