1000-Eimerberg

The Burgberg, also known as the Tausendeimerberg [‘One-Thousand-Bucket Mountain’], is situated at the outer edge of the Spitzer Graben, at the banks of the Danube, and presents a kind of entry portal to region. Gneiss dominates here, and, as a consequence, Riesling, which covers almost the entire mountain. But only almost: eroded geological materials have collected in a small v-shaped part for centuries, and these are perfectly suited for growing Veltliner, which we have started to grow there about ten years ago. The highest quality wines can be produced in colder, classical years. The wines here, in contrast to those from the Spitzer terraces, appear riper, less acidic and as a result more pleasing.
