Ritzling

A vineyard (site) in the municipality of Weißenkirchen in the Lower Austrian wine-growing region of Wachau. It was mentioned as early as 1236 as "Ritzinger" and in 1301 as "Ritzling". The nearby Ritzlingbach stream also bears this name. According to an old legend, a Riesling vine was washed up here on the banks of the Danube. The locals used to derive the origin of Riesling from this; Ritzling is also an old synonym for the variety.

Ritzlinng - Weißenkirchen

The deep, humus-poor soils are well-drained and mostly dry. They consist of sandy, calcareous material from trenches over gravel and crushed stone-rich deposits. The east-southeast-facing vineyards cover 10 hectares of vines at 202 to 220 metres above sea level with slopes of 0 to 19°. The Grüner Veltliner variety dominates with almost two thirds of the area, followed by the Riesling, Zweigelt, Pinot Blanc, Müller-Thurgau and Muscat varieties. The Kropf, Prager and Schneeweiss Anton wineries, for example, have shares in the vineyard.
