single vineyard in the municipality of Trittenheim ( Bernkastel area) in the German Moselle wine-growing region. The single vineyard pharmacy is located to the north. The south-east to west-facing vineyards with slopes of 10 to 55% cover 165 hectares of vines. They consist of weathered clay slate with gravel in places and alluvial soil at the foot. Due to the enormous size, the soils are very inhomogeneous; the best plots are located in the central area facing the banks of the Moselle. The Riesling variety is mainly cultivated here. The Blees-Ferber, Clüsserath Ansgar, Clüsserath-Eifel, Clüsserath Ernst, Clüsserath-Hilt, Eifel Bernhard, Eifel Christoph, Eifel Franz-Josef, Loersch, Lorenz Nikolaus, Milz Josef and Schmitt Heinz wineries, for example, have shares in the site. The picture shows the municipality of Trittenheim with the single vineyards Altärchen, Apotheke, Felsenkopf and Leiterchen.

In the past, you needed a wealth of encyclopaedias and specialist literature to keep up to date in your vinophile professional life. Today, Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one of my best helpers and can rightly be called the "bible of wine knowledge".
