Pössnitzberg

Vineyard (site) in Pössnitz (cadastral municipality of Leutschach an der Weinstraße) in the Styrian wine-growing region of Südsteiermark(Austria). Pössnitz is derived from the Slavic "pesek" and means "sand". The first documented mention of Pesnich dates back to 1139 and is located south-east of the Hoch Pössnitzberg vineyard. The rocky vineyards surrounded by meadows and forests provide a habitat for biodiversity (variety of species) of flora and fauna.

Pössnitzberg - Riedenkarte

The east-southeast facing vineyards cover 49 hectares of vines at 347 to 592 metres above sea level with slopes of 1° to 36°. However, the vineyard consists of several non-contiguous sub-areas with a difference in altitude of 245 metres. The slopes of the vineyards also diverge, some are very steep at up to 73% and can only be worked by hand. This is accompanied by varying soil types.
