The eight hectares of vineyards on the Frettner site lie at the edge of an oak forest and feature excellent loamy soils. The old rock of the mountains between the foothills of the Alps and Lake Neusiedl have transformed into brown soils with deposits of extremely weathered bedrock. The soil here is very deep and is rich in humus and lime deposits. Due to its proximity to the woods, cold air blows over the vineyards and keeps the grapes constantly cool.
For decades we have been working on this soil now and found out that the Cabernet Franc from this site is the most authentic.
