The steep terraces of Höhereck end in the Mentalgraben, carved deep into the rough stone ground. Cold air from the Waldviertel flows through here towards the Danube.
Its unique location lends the Smaragd Höhereck its mineral aromas and wild, smoky character. The blend of grapes, soil, and climate creates a complexity which appeals to every palate.
What is the source of the wine’s power and expression? Perhaps the extreme differences in temperature lead to a concentration in the aroma? Perhaps it is the South Eastern location, or the Gföhl gneiss? The old winemaking traditions employed at Tegernseehof? Most likely it is a combination of all of these factors.
