To the west, it offers an impressive view over the Maine plain. The vineyard has been a listed building since 1985. The varieties cultivated here include Riesling and Silvaner. The wineries Heilmann Franz and Höfler Bernd, for example, have shares in the site.

Serious sources on the internet are rare - and Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one such source. When researching for my articles, I regularly consult the wein.plus encyclopaedia. There I get reliable and detailed information.
