background
The Vienna Basin was a sea during the Tertiary. The Wagram is on the one hand a geological fault line, on the other hand also a Danube terrace. The up to 40 m high, steep edge of the terrain is the border between the Danube meadows and the Weinviertel hill country; Due to the southern exposure of the slope of the edge of the terrain and the light loess soil, the conditions for viticulture and fruit growing are ideal.
