It is well known that beetles love warm sites, but the Käferberg (Käfer = beetle) is only a moderately warm vineyard. Its microclimate is tempered by its easterly orientation and partially strong, cooling winds that sweep over its 340 m high crest. The soils vary from loam with limestone on the east side to amphibolite on the west side and have nearly no humus at all; a perfect place for Grüner Veltliner.

Matured in 80% stainless steel and 20% used 500L oak barrels

The Rabl Winery can be traced back to the year 1750, when it was a traditional mixed farm. Even more than 100 years ago wine was sold in wooden barrels to local innkeepers. 70 years ago Rabl wines were filled in 0.7 litre bottles – an exception for the time that indicated outstanding quality.
