RIED LOIBENBERG
Altitude 213-396 Meter
Hours of sunshine 2004 h
Soil Gföhler gneis
The Loibenberg is one of the steepest and barest primary rock sites in the Wachau. The bedrock of Gföhl gneiss, along with a few islands of loess are what set the tone. The sandy-stony soil supports water drainage, facilitating the growth of the roots. Due to the steep stone terraces, the soil is heated for much longer than with other vineyards, providing favourable conditions for the bud break of the vines in spring. The Loibenberg can only be cultivated by hand.
Up for something new?
The Gattinger family looks forward to welcoming guests to the winery. The wine range can either be tasted in the new tasting room - with a stunning view of the Ried Loibenberg. Or would you like to taste the wines in the middle of the action and get a better overview of the different vineyards? This is possible on the Loibenberg experience platform. You would prefer a new perspective on the Wachau? Not a problem - the wooden boat takes you along the Danube past the region's top single vineyards.
