The steep slope, exposed to the south and southwest, is dominated by red slate and produces the house's greatest growths. This is where the grapes for great estate wines ripen: Pinot Gris, Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling. They all stand out for their inimitable coolness and minerality.
As always, all work in the vineyards of Ried Gaisriegl, situated at an altitude of 470 to 560 metres above sea level, has to be done largely by hand without mechanical assistance. High up on the Gaisriegl is our winery with the Buschenschank and the guesthouse. Thus, the Ried Gaisriegl is the foundation on which we stand - the basis for our efforts and, with its terroir, the guarantor of qualitatively outstanding wines.

Höchtemmel is a very small Ried on the Demmerkogel, with a south-southeast exposure, situated at up to 575 metres above sea level. The soils consist of red slate rock and the narrow terraces, which cannot be driven on, require purely manual cultivation.

With its exposed altitude of up to 550 metres above sea level and its sunny south-western or western orientation, sloping towards the slopes of the Koralpe, from which cooling winds flow down, Steinriegl also has very special climatic and microclimatic qualities. For example, even after hot summer days, it usually cools down quickly and noticeably in the evening. The best conditions for Sauvignons Blancs, Chardonnays and Pinot Blancs with a strong character.
