The Silberbichl is a broad terrace vineyard perched above the Danube river, and comprised of „old Danube” gravel and weathered stone that are covered with loess. This vineyard was documented as a site already in 1562. The name „Silber“ (silver) probably comes from “Glimmer” (mica-slate) - which can be found here in large pieces; „Bichl” is a variation of „Bühel”, or hill.
This southeast-facing site lies in the wine-growing area of Wachau. Riesling is planted here because it is ideally suited to the soil.
