Description

The Gaisberg is known as the little brother of Heiligenstein. Both hills are facing south towards the plain of the adjoining rivers Kamp and Danube. These vineyards are terraced on both sites, and similar ecological conditions prevail. The difference will be found when you go deep into the soil. The soil of the Gaisberg consists of “Gföhler gneiss” with vertical mica-schist structures. The soil is rougher and poorer than on the Heiligenstein, a geological condition, which makes it the perfect place to grow Riesling.

The Zöbinger Gaisberg is the coolest part of the Gaisberg and is therefore an ideal place for elegant an
minerality driven Rieslings. This southwest-facing vineyard is located in the southern foothills of the
Manhartsberg mountain range. The soil consists mainly of non-calcareous, siliceous brown earth with a
sandy, slightly silty consistency and a significant grit content. The bedrock is formed by mica schist and
gneiss.
