– Ried Setz –

The single vineyard “Setz”, was first mentioned in documents in 1569 as “Krapflried”. It borders the Großhöflein vineyard sites in the direction to Kleinhöflein. Located south of the single vineyard Tatschler and the road to Kleinhöflein, a part of the town Eisenstadt, the southeast facing “Setz” enjoys plenty of sunshine from early morning till late in the afternoon.

The soil’s high content of limestone in the part near to Großhöflein allows the Blaufränkisch grapes to ripen fully. The last fifeteen vineyards from Kleinhöflein with low limestone content perfectly matches with Cabernet Sauvignon. The heights of the Leithagebirge protectes the “Setz” from wind and enables the 15,35 hectar small sites hot mesoclimate. 4,9 hectares of the Ried Setz are owned by the Kollwentz estate.
