Historic vineyards that tell their own story: many decades ago, vines were planted on the meagre mica schist soil on the south and south-west sides of the Loiserberg vineyard in Langenlois. Even back then, people were aware of the special nature of this location and its specific conditions. The grape varieties planted were chosen to minimise risk and were all perfectly suited to the cool Kamptal climate: Riesling, Grüner Veltliner, Roter Veltliner, Pinot Blanc, Müller-Thurgau and Welschriesling are deeply rooted in the rocky soils and express the experiences and significance that connect us and the generations before to this place.

The old vines in this 'museum vineyard', as we like to lovingly call it, are perfectly adapted to the meagre location and can cope well with both dry conditions and heavy rainfall. The care and protection of these historic vineyards is important to us. The yields are extremely low, but the wines reward us by expressing the essence of the place in the best possible way.
