Kurtatsch - Margreid
Foundation for uniqueness
The soil profile of Kurtatsch - Margreid is diverse but can be roughly divided into three areas: The hillside vineyards north of the church in Kurtatsch grow on calcareous moraine deposits atop dolomite rock. Meanwhile, the southern area predominantly features sandy clay soils. In Margreid's valley floor, the vineyards thrive on sandy, calcareous alluvial soils that formed in the plain after the Austrian-Hungarian Empress Maria Theresa drained and reclaimed the originally swampy area.
