Winegrowing in the Salzburg area dates back to Roman times, and the city's Wine Museum in the Georgsturm on the Mönchsberg presents six local wine businesses. The Historischer Weinanbau project began in 2006, and scouts planted a Frühroter Veltliner in the Paris-Lodron-Zwinger from 2008. Production is in the hands of a few family growers who process only their own grapes and sell directly from the farm. Vines are trained almost entirely as high stems on wire frames, and the cool climate with big day-night differences gives wines a good acid structure.
