The Leithaberg
Minerality through limestone & slate
The types of rock typical of the region’s geology, mica schist and Leitha limestone, are “mineral treasures” in the truest sense of the word for winegrowing. The hard mica schist forces the vines to root particularly deeply and concentrate their strength on just a few grapes. The limestone, which is composed of the fossilized legacy of millions of years old marine fossils, also gives the wine density and a unique, mineral note. Numerous sunny days alternate here with the cool nights of nearby Lake Neusiedl and the wooded slopes of the Leitha Mountains. They give the wine a particularly lively freshness. A constellation that you won’t find a second time.
Ried Katterstein
First documented in 1570, Ried Katterstein is one of the highest mountain vineyards on the Leithaberg at an altitude of 220 to 300 m and is characterized by many very small vineyard plots. Facing south-east and surrounded by forest on three sides, it enjoys a unique microclimate. At night, cool air masses flow from the neighboring Leithaberg forest, causing dew to form in the morning. This delays the warming of the leaves and grapes. The barren soil structure, characterized by mica slate, and the altitude produce spicy white wines with a distinctive acidity.

Ried Tatschler
Ried Tatschler is one of the oldest vineyards in Burgenland and was first documented in 1570. The unique terroir is predestined for great white wines. The vineyards are located at 200 to 240 meters above sea level on a wind-protected slope with a south-easterly exposure. The surrounding Leithaberg forest provides a cool microclimate and favors the aromatic development of the grapes in autumn. The Tatschler vineyard is characterized by crystalline primary rock and an underlying layer of Leitha limestone. These conditions form the basis for powerful, spicy white wines.

Ried Setz
The Ried Setz, documented since 1569, lies below the Ried Tatschler at 190 m above sea level and connects the villages of Kleinhöflein and Großhöflein. It borders directly on the Reisbühl reed to the south. Due to its south-easterly orientation, the Ried Setz enjoys full sunlight from sunrise until late afternoon. The Leithaberg forest provides protection from the wind and ensures the warmest microclimate far and wide. High lime content and crystalline slate characterize the soil structure and offer the best ripening conditions for Blaufränkisch and Cabernet Sauvignon.

Ried Reisbühl
The Reisbühl vineyard is located south of the Setz vineyard at an altitude of 180 meters above sea level. The vineyard, which is only 8 hectares in size, was first documented in the mountain register of 1570 and is one of the highest quality Blaufränkisch vineyards on the Leithaberg. The protection from the wind provided by the forest and the south-easterly exposure ensure a warm, unique microclimate and promote perfect grape ripening. The Reisbühl vineyard is characterized by calcareous brown earth soil with inclusions of crystalline primary rock.

Ried Satz
Directly behind the Kleinhöflein houses in the direction of Großhöflein lies the Ried Satz at an altitude of 170 to 200 meters above sea level. As a popular local recreation area, it is one of the centerpieces of our wine-growing village. Numerous paths lead along wayside shrines and chapels and cross a picturesque landscape of vineyards interspersed with magnificent cherry trees. The Ried Satz is characterized by a deep, calcareous soil. The warmth of the south-western exposure makes it predestined for our medium to late-ripening grape varieties.

Ried Föllikberg
The Großhöfleiner Ried Föllikberg is an alluvial cone formed by erosion of the Leithaberg. The western exposure and the altitude of 210 to 260 m above sea level ensure a significantly cooler microclimate than in our Kleinhöflein Blaufränkisch vineyards. On the heavy, calcareous black soil with a high clay content, the Blaufränkisch reaches full maturity somewhat later. The terroir of the Föllikberg vineyard lends the wines a unique character and gives them years of ageing potential.
