Gaisberg

Southeasternmost spur of the Manhartsberg near the municipality of Zöbing in the wine-growing region of Kamptal (Lower Austria). The elevation is only separated by the Grub vineyard and is in the vicinity of the famous Zöbing Heiligenstein. On the Gaisberg there is a south-southeast facing vineyard (Lage) of the same name. This consists largely of weathered rock with a brown earth layer. In the upper part there are terraces on predominantly mica-slate soils. In Austria this is often referred to as "Urgesteins-Boden". The lower, eastern area has a sandy loess layer and is partly at risk of frost and drought. On the Gaisberg, mainly Grüner Veltliner, Riesling and Neuburger are cultivated.

The wineries Allram, Arndorfer, Dolle Peter, Eichinger Birgit, Hiedler Ludwig, Hirsch Johannes, Laurenz V., Schloss Gobelsburg, Schreibeis, Topf Johann, Weixelbaum Heinz and Zottlöderer, for example, have shares in the Gaisberg. In the lower part of the Gaisberg there is the Ofenberg vineyard, which is characterised by loess-covered soil and its microclimate. This is virtually predestined for the white wine variety Grüner Veltliner. Worth seeing is a cellar alley with many very old cellar vaults, some of which are now only used as showpieces.

The Wine lexicon helps me to keep up to date and refresh my knowledge. Thank you for this Lexicon that will never end in terms of topicality! That's what makes it so exciting to come back often.
