Soil conditions

Saint Hill in Mikulov is the southern most peak of Pálava. This massive Mesozoic, so called “Ernstbrunn” limestone was embossed from the lower layers of the Jurassic geological period and settled in to Tertiary sediments of Baden sea. Organic vineyard Svatá lies at an altitude of 307m, almost below the summitof the Saint Hill (363m) in the protected landscape area of Pálava. The subsoil is made of a deep layer of slope sediments formed during weathering of mesozoic limestone with extremely high calcium content of up to 43 000 milligrams per kilogram of soil. Thanks to the eastern orientation of the vineyard and the continuous flowof groundwater along the slopes, the vineyards are well supplied with water even in the driest periods typical of Mikulov.
