A “Zaum”, or bridle, typically refers to a small edge of the terrain. The transition between flat and steep. This vineyard takes its name as an offshoot of the Silberbichl site.
The Zaum is exactly where the Silberbichl becomes flat.
The transition is particularly exciting because mica schist from the Silberbichl is also present. In the plain, however, alluvial soil from the Danube predominates. The humus-rich upper layer is supported by gravel, providing the soil with enough permeability to prevent waterlogging.
These are ideal conditions for thin-skinned Burgundy varieties.
