Ried Scheibner
Ried Scheibner lies at around 220 metres between Aubühl and Bärnreiser in Höflein. Its gentle eastern exposure and bowl-like shape make it particularly wind-exposed, creating dry conditions ideal for Burgundy varieties. Deep, limestone-rich soils interspersed with fine gravel add further character and precision to the wines.

In addition, the site shows a pronounced proportion of limestone at the root, while the surface is covered with sandy and gravelly loam, in places with loess..
