Common name for vineyards (sites) in Austria. The name comes from the presence or proximity of hazelnuts (hazelnut bushes). In addition to the two vineyards listed below, there is also one in Bad Pirawarth (Weinviertel).
The south-south-west facing vineyard with a slope of up to 23 degrees lies at 230 to 300 metres above sea level and covers 124 hectares of vineyards. In Straß it is divided into Oberhasel, Mitterhasel (centrepiece) and Unterhasel; a sub-vineyard with 11 hectares is called Hasel-Steinbühel. Glacial action has pulverised rocks such as quartz, limestone, mica and clay particles. The loess offers excellent water storage capacity.
