So what a stroke of luck that such an interesting name was found for this piece of south-facing land on the Eastern fringes of the Kremstal valley: it was originally called “Ungut” (literally “not good”) – due to the stony ground that made working it so difficult. But it is that chalky, gravelly make-up that ensures the yields on this south-facing slope are anything but “ungut”! The conglomerate is covered by fertile loess soil, particularly in the lower sections. A set of geological attributes that not only produce great Grüner Veltliner, but also peerless Pinot Blancs, Neuburgers and Rieslings.
The products of pure handcraftsmanship are always a joy to behold.
