Over millions of years, the Danube has carved the Wachau landscape tens of meters deep. The Wachau vineyards are located on the steep river slopes. As you walk down from the slope through the vineyards, you will encounter layers of mineral rock with granite, quartz feldspar, mica and gneiss. But also sand that was blown here by the wind at the end of the ice age. The sand has formed a thick layer of l&oumkl;ss. This diversity of the soil and the steep slope on the river makes the terroir of the Wachau very interesting.
If you walk down from the slope through the Wachau vineyards, you are actually walking through millions of years of history. You will encounter layers of mineral rock with granite, quartz feldspar, mica and gneiss. But also sand that was blown here by the wind at the end of the ice age. The sand has formed a thick layer of loess.
The grapes at the top of the steep vineyard therefore have different flavors than the grapes at the bottom. And that enables the winemakers to make Grüner Veltliners and Rieslings, which are undoubtedly among the most special in the world.
On top of that, there is the special climate in Wachau. The winds from the Atlantic Ocean in the west and the winds from the Central European plateau collide here. The summers are dry and warm, the winters are harsh. The Danube provides cooling to the vineyards in summer and autumn.
Add to that the location of the vineyards. South-facing vineyards get a little more sun than east-facing vineyards. All these special circumstances lead to the fascinating variety of terroirs and wines in Wachau.
