Ried BRÜNDLGRABEN

Description

Ried Bründlgaben varies in elevation between roughly 290 and 370 metres. The terraced vineyards primarily incline to the south-east and south. The soil is a loose-sediment brown earth or a black earth composed of loess. Loess is a calcareous rock dust (silt) that was blown here from the Alpine region during the cold phases of the Ice Age, at a time when vegetation on the forelands of the glaciers and river plains was sparse. Today, it forms a loamy, sandy and invariably calcareous soil with a well-balanced chemical and mineralogical composition and a good capacity for storing water. Vineyards are recorded at this location in both the Franziszeische Kataster (Austrian cadastral survey) from 1823 and the Administrativkarte (administrative map, 1864–1881). The plot was referred to as “Brindelsgraben” (“Bründlsgraben”). The name is probably derived from a spring.
