Vineyard
Vineyard Site
Riesling "Grossriedenthal" consists mainly of grapes from the vineyards “Hinternberg” which connects the villages Großriedenthal and Neudegg. The vineyards here are mainly laid out as terraces. The name “Hinternberg” originates from the residents of Neudegg. For them the area on the south side was behind the hill, therefore “Hinternberg” (“Hinter” = behind + “Berg” = mountain/hill). Occasionally there are still footpaths visible between the vineyards where in earlier days the residents of Neudegg would walk to Großriedenthal.
