The Traisental now has around 850 hectares of vineyards, around 60% of which are planted with Grüner Veltliner. It lies south of the Kremstal and Wagram wine-growing regions and has grown significantly in vineyard area in recent years, which indicates an increasing popularity of the wines.
The calcareous soils of the Traisental offer the best conditions for wine-growing. The white wines of the Traisental, especially from Riesling and Grüner Veltliner, are among the very best in all of Austria, and can compete with the great wines of the Wachau and Kamptal.
