Climate
Continental with strong Pannonian influence: warm, dry summers and cold winters. The Vienna Woods to the west provide some protection from cold north-westerly weather; the open Pannonian plain to the east drives ripening.
Terroir
Limestone (Leithakalk and Wettersteinkalk), dolomitic gravel, and clay over former seabed deposits. The transition between the alpine foothills and the Pannonian basin gives a wide range of expositions and soils within short distances.
