Limestone in the soil

Soil Profile

Arig 0-30: strongly humous, pure silty clay, slightest patches of rust and ash, slightly micaceous and calcareous, crumbly, porous, well- to very well-rooted, dark brown
BArig 30-60: lightly humous, silty clay, porous, crumbly to blocky rounded edges, slightly micaceous, individual iron and manganese concretions, well-rooted, somewhat calcareous, dark brown to brown
B 60-80: silty clay, loamy silt, non-humous, normally porous to finely porous, slightly dense, blocky rounded edges, pure brown
BCv from 80: loamy, light silt, dense, tapered rooting, iron and manganese concretions, blocky and sharp-edged, lime efflorescence, greyish-brown, calcareous, finely porous, lightly weathered patches

Water storage capacity/Usable field capacity: about 180 litres/m²

Effects of soil type on wine

The limestone clay creates more concentrated, full-bodied exotic fruit aromas. Above all, the lime content brings with it a noticable feeling of higher minerality. Along with it, the finesse and fine fruit aroma also increases. The acidity structure of wine grown in the calcereous marl clay soil presents with soft and creamy notes.

Effects of soil type on wine

Weathered volcanic soils have a powerful effect on wine. The elements of minerality and salinity distinguish the wine by giving it a full-bodied taste and distinct aroma. These soils are excellent for masculine wine, such as Traminer, Grauburgunder and red wine varieties. The sites also support additional characteristics of these varieties of wine.
