Lamm

Ried Lamm is located in Kammern in the Kamptal, on a south-easterly sloping hillside and in the lower slope area of the Heiligenstein. The vineyard is among the warmest, or hottest, sites in the Kamptal and lies at an altitude of 215 to 285 metres.

In the deep subsoil, clay and loess shape the site. In the upper areas close to the Heiligenstein, siltstones and sandstones of the Zöbinger formation appear near the surface. In addition, there is erosional material from the Heiligenstein, including red Permian siltstone, as well as a high proportion of clay. The name Lamm is derived from the regional term “Laam” for clay.

Lamm is a legally recognised vineyard in the cadastral municipality of Kammern and is listed as the vineyard Lamm, Kammern, as part of the Austrian Traditionsweingüter 1ÖTW Erste Lage. For the vineyard, Grüner Veltliner is documented.

Schloss Gobelsburg describes Lyra training for the predominant part of the vines and a hand harvest in most cases at the end of October or the beginning of November. Grüner Veltliner from Lamm is described as ripe, concentrated, powerful and multilayered, with structure and elegance. For a documented wine by Bründlmayer, physiologically ripe grapes free of botrytis were harvested into small crates, processed gently without pumps, fermented in Austrian oak barrels and, in part, in acacia barrels, and matured on the lees in larger barrels until bottling.
