Vineyard or site (also Steinmassel) in the wine town of Langenlois in the Lower Austrian wine-growing region of Kamptal. The name is derived from "Steinmeizel", which used to be a term for a quarry. The eastern part is also called "Steinhaus", but is often referred to as an independent vineyard. The south-southeast facing vineyards in the form of a cauldron have mica slate and gneiss primary rock soils. The white wine varieties Grüner Veltliner and Riesling are cultivated here. The wineries Bründlmayer Willi, Grillmaier, Loimer Fred, Rabl Rudolf, Sax Rudolf and Summerer, for example, have shares in the vineyard.
For my many years of work as an editor with a wine and culinary focus, I always like to inform myself about special questions at Wine lexicon. Spontaneous reading and following links often leads to exciting discoveries in the wide world of wine.
