The soils in Niederösterreich are very diverse. One find Mica-schist in the Bohemian massif in the Kamptal region, but also bedrock weathered soils, covered with a thin coating of humus. The heart of Heiligenstein, an almost ideal partner for top-class Rieslings is a weathered desert sandstone from the Permian. Grüner Veltliner thrives on the gravel soils of Manhartsberg or the partly massive loess deposits that characterise the southern borders of this wine region.

Anna & Martin Arndorfer is a family business located around the village of Strass, in the wine region of Kamptal. The first thing that strikes when you meet Martin Arndorfer and his wife Anna is the love, the passion and the enthusiasm that they have for their work, and how they transfer this energy into their wines. Martin works a patchwork of small vineyards that are mostly planted with the traditional Gruner Veltliner and Riesling. All vines are grown with sustainable farming, and the same care and respect is used in the cellar during vinification.
