Vine origins

• Theresienhöhe, Pistdorf

  Erste STK Lage
  The grand cru Theresienhöhe is situated in Sausal in the foothills of the Koralpe mountains. The subsoil of the vineyard comprises quartz phyllites as well as sericite and chlorite slate and developed as far back as 350 to 500 million years ago. This slate stone fragments very easily along its line of cleavage. As a result, small fragments are all that can be seen on the surface now. The soil created in this way is warm, water-permeable with low limestone content and, as such, characterises the minerality of the wines growing there. Location and exposure: ridge, 5° south west; Base material: palaeozoic phyllite; Types: Sauvignon Blanc, Morillon; Root penetration depth: shallow depth; Soil type: calcareous rigosol; Soil analysis: 36% sand, 53% silt, 11% clay

Other

The wines mature in vineyards with a particularly favourable microclimate. Their long maturity period is coordinated to optimise the development of the “terroir” character, expressiveness and minerality. Our wines from this location have a complex aromatic and individual character and keep exceptionally well with an aging potential of at least 5 years.
