soil structure | strength of our locations

GOLDBERG | A TOP-location and lies in the so-called "alten Deutschkreutzer Weingebirge" (old Deutschkreutzer wine hills). The soil consists of deep, rich clay and has an excellent water storage capacity.
This location is fantastic for full-bodied, strong and storable wines.

FABIAN |  Located southeast of the "alten Deutschkreutzer Weingebirge" (old Deutschkreutzer wine hills) in an supreme sun-exposed location. Here, high sugar grades are reached year after year. The strength of the soil is its outstanding water storage capacity. This location brings full-bodied, characterful wines with it.

SATZ | This location is in close proximity of the "alten Weingebirge" (old wine hills), separated only by a path from the top location Goldberg. It is ideal for strong red wines: the high location promotes maturity of the wines excellently. Constant winds coming from Ödenburg  (Hungary) allow grapes and leaves to dry quickly.

KART |  The flat surface of the location with its low lime density, and sandy-loamy soil containing high gravel, produces mineral and fruity wines. Due to the slightly south facing position of the grapes, high sugar grades are reached. Cabernet Sauvignon, which feels particularly loved on gravelly soil, produces wines with a special elegance on this location.

natural area deutschkreutz | location, climate & soil

Deutschkreutz is located on the western edge of the Little Hungarian Plain. In the north, the foothills of the Alps are greeting daily through the Ödenburger mountains, and in the east we see the beginning of the so-called "lowlands".

Our highest elevation point is at 275 m, above see level is at 192 m.
On clear days you easily see from the "altes Weingebirge" (old vineyard) to Bratislava or to the Wechsel area.
The soil of the region provides in the north of the Hotter area components such as fertile clay, interspersed with gravel and lime. Often there is clay and gravel in close density to, in some cases, storages of mighty loess layers.

With less than 600 mm rainfall per year, we are speaking of a dry region.

With approx. 20 °C monthly average in July, we see - exemplary - exactly 10 °C more warmth in Deutschkreutz, than in the mountains of the west. Peak values close to 40 °C limits are easily possible in summer. Usually, there are only a few winter days with minus-temperature records. Thus, as the Neusiedler See nearby acts as a huge buffer, reducing the overall temperature extremes of the Pannonian-continental climate impact.

In 1245 we learn of  the first mention of viticulture in Deutschkreutz.

Red wine deriving from Deutschkreutz was enormously popular at the Hungarian court of the Middle Ages; furthermore, the Hofkammer in Vienna used to order their wine selection in modern times.
