Loibenberg

Vineyard (location) in the municipality of Unterloiben (part of Dürnstein) on the 420 metre high mountain of the same name at the eastern end of the Lower Austrian wine-growing region of Wachau. As one of the oldest vineyards in the Wachau, it was mentioned in documents as early as 1381 as "Weingarten Büns zu Lewben an dem Leubnerberg".

Loibenberg - Unterloiben - Weinberge

The south-facing vineyards cover 27 hectares of vines at 212 to 393 metres above sea level with slopes of 3° to 41°. The 90% steeply terraced areas are secured with dry stone walls.

Soils & climate

The Loibenberg is characterised by primary rock soil formed from granite ("Gföhler Gneis"). The soils consist of sandy-textured areas prepared by trenching (loosening before new planting), are low in lime and medium in humus, deep, dry and highly permeable with a low water retention capacity.
