The soil in South Styria often consists of a type called Opok. Opok is a marly, calcareous, sedimentary rock formation. This soil type is particularly suitable for viticulture because it provides good drainage. Some vineyards may also feature gravel soils, which also promote good water permeability.

Sauvignon Blanc is a white grape variety known for its intense aromas of citrus fruits, green apples, and gooseberries. The wines typically exhibit vibrant acidity, which contributes to freshness and liveliness. Sauvignon Blanc is cultivated worldwide and can be produced in various styles, ranging from dry and crisp to complex and barrel-aged.

Many vineyards in South Styria are situated on steep slopes. These slopes allow for optimal sunlight exposure and also provide good drainage for rainwater. Due to the hilly topography, some vineyards are terraced to compensate for the slope gradient.
