Our wine area can be divided into three large sections: the Parndorfer Plateau, Wagram, and Heideboden

The Parndorfer Plateau is located directly above Wagram. It comprises an approximately ten meter thick layer of gravel interspersed with loess. The soil is well drained, yet has the capacity to retain moisture.
Vineyards: Reitäcker, Holzacker, Herrschaftswald

On the terrace of Wagram the tertiary layer of sand and clay soils surfaces from under the gravel. The best vineyards for the late ripening grape varieties that need plenty of sun are found on the southwesterly terrace boundary: Ungerberg, Salzberg, Schafleiten, Kurzberg, Goldberg, Altenberg , Spiegel, and Gabarinza

The Heideboden is the level below Wagram stretching towards the lake. The soils vary from loess to calcareous loam to meager gravel.
