The Grassnitzberg vineyard (site) is located south-east of Ehrenhausen and south of the municipality of Straß in the Styrian wine-growing region of southern Styria(Austria) on the territory of the cadastral municipality of Grassnitzberg, which gives it its name. It was already mentioned under this name in the Franziszeische Land Register in 1824. The vineyard is part of the crescent-shaped mountain ridge of the same name and comprises predominantly lower-lying, east to north-east exposed sections, which extend in several directions like tongues and partly reach into the area of the Hochgrassnitzberg vineyard.
The vineyard consists of three separate sub-areas on the eastern side of this mountain ridge, which stretches from south to west to north. The exposure is predominantly east to north-east, with around 20% facing south-east. The southernmost part is only about 150 metres from the border with Slovenia. The vineyards cover 33 hectares of vines at 301 to 453 metres above sea level with slopes of 3° to 34°.

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
