Description
Origin
Vines have been cultivated in the climatically favorable region south of Vienna for more than 2,000 years. The vines benefit from the Pannonian climate, with hot summers and dry autumns. Constant air movement allows the grapes to dry quickly after dew or rain in the fall. The relatively heavy soils with a high shell limestone content give the wine character and depth. The underlying weathered debris helps with drainage and warming, resulting in fully ripe, healthy grapes. The Anninger is a 700-meter-high mountain on the easternmost foothills of the Alps. At the foot of the Anninger lies Gumpoldskirchen and the vineyards for this wine.
