Vineyard Site
The DECHANT vineyard faces southeast and is well protected from north winds, yet well aerated. The soil is fine calcareous loess, which can reach heights of up to 60 meters on slopes, interspersed with gravelly inclusions. All this makes the Dechant a very good site for powerful, complex Veltliners.
