Pössnitzberg

Vineyard (location) in the cadastral community of Pössnitz, municipality of Leutschach an der Weinstraße in the Austrian wine-growing region of southern Styria. However, only the southernmost part of this cadastral municipality is designated as Pössnitzberg, which lies directly adjacent to Slovenia. The rocky and extremely steep vineyards, surrounded by meadows and forests, provide a sustainable habitat for a wide variety of flora and fauna.

The large differences in temperature result in enormous depth of fruit and a variety of flavours in the wines.
