• Lowest elevation 250 metres, highest elevation 350 metres.
• Soils are a mix of clay, marl, sand and sandstone, gravel, conglomerate rocks and chalk.

The very chalky soils of the Traisental challenge the vines to work their roots down into the rocks and impart a highly individual profile to the wines, including a full body and firm structure. Minerality functions as a flavour carrier, supporting the acidity structure and giving the wines a long ageing potential.
