Vineyard (site) in the Kamptal wine-growing region west of Langenlois in Lower Austria. The name goes back to the mountain of the same name and used to be called Lewserberg or Loisa Beag in dialect. The south-southwest-facing, partly steeply terraced vineyards cover 55 hectares of vines at 252 to 380 metres above sea level with a slope of 0° to 28°. This is followed by the Vogelsang vineyard, which is often referred to as a sub-vineyard.

The soils consist of lime-free rocky brown earth from primary rock weathering with inclusions of crystalline slate and clay, which is covered with a thin layer of humus. The roots must therefore penetrate deep into the rocky subsoil. The dry soil is highly permeable and has a low water retention capacity. The special climate is characterised by extreme heat from the sun with an influx of cold air from the Waldviertel. The mixture of warm and cool air and the resulting large temperature differences enhance the fruit flavours.
