Over 3,802ha of vines you find a variety of terroir, ranging from loess over gravel to striking parcels of primary rock and even volcanic elements, as on the highly regarded Heiligenstein (Hell     rock!). Mostly Grüner Veltliner and Riesling are planted     here. And red wine is gaining in significance. Riesling is planted along the steep terraces on south-facing slopes, that in places are so steep that no layers of loess can form a hold; they produce powerful, mineral wines with exceptional     aging potential. Southwards towards the Danube,    there is a change in the soil structure to wider loess and loam terraces as offering the perfect conditions     for traditional, but also full-bodied Grüner Veltiner, as well as the red and     white Pinot     varieties and Zweigelt. The Danube River just skirts the southernmost limit of the     region. The Kamp     River runs right     through it north to south. For the weather, you get the hot, Pannonian plain heat from the east mingling with the cooler temperatures from the Waldviertel region from the north west.
