The vineyard gets its name because, from its highest point, you can see the neighboring village of Groß Reipersdorf. It lies at about 340 meters above sea level and is partially surrounded by acacia forests. The subsoil of the Reipersberg consists of highly friable granite with quartz filling the fissures, while the topsoil is formed by a layer of weathered granite approximately 30–45 cm thick. It’s no wonder that these wines have such a distinctive mineral character.

Our vineyards are located in the highest part of the region, where granite predominates and our Grüner Veltliner grows.

Our great-uncle’s favorite vineyard, located at a lower elevation. The name is derived from “Point,” the term for fertile soil, and “o’hundsn” (to exert oneself).

It is located east of Röschitz, near the famous 200-year-old Weberkeller, which was carved out of loess and clay. The pure loess soil is an excellent reservoir of water and heat, and we mainly grow Grüner Veltliner here. Our great-uncle’s cellar on Kellergasse serves as a link to the new winery during the wine-tasting experience.

The Ried Königsberg is listed under this name as early as 1823 in the Franciscan cadastral register. It is located in the cadastral municipalities of Roggendorf and Röschitz at a relatively high elevation of 352 meters.

Forest surrounds the south-facing vineyard to the north and west. In the higher section, where our vines are planted, the soil consists largely of biotite granite from the Thaya Batholith, with a sandy, gravelly, and limestone-free topsoil. Combined with the cool microclimate and plenty of wind, this creates exceptionally good conditions for a cool, mineral-driven, and long-aging Riesling.

Surrounded by the forest, it cools down nicely here in the evenings—which is ideal for white wine. Here, the Chardonnay can ripen well into the fall while remaining protected, yet still retain its elegance. The soil has a slightly thicker layer of loess on top and primary rock (granite) beneath.

The area has a long and apparently eventful history, as its name is derived from that history: Until 1841, there was an execution site here. Today, the vineyard located south of the town center and directly bordering the town gives us nothing but cause for joy. The cool location is ideal for Pinot Noir and Sankt Laurent.

The bowl-shaped terrain is characterized by its particularly high exposure to the wind, which allows the grapes to dry quickly. The high proportion of loess and the favorable, warm conditions are ideal for Zweigelt, but also for Grüner Veltliner.

The relatively steep slope overlooking the village faces south and enjoys many hours of sunshine. However, it is also exposed to the wind, which causes significant temperature fluctuations within the vineyard. The climatic conditions also cause the grapes to dry quickly.

Our oldest vines were planted here in 1968. They yield a small harvest—but the grapes are all the more high-quality for it. The primary granite soil also contributes to this, producing small-berried grapes with a full-bodied flavor.
