Famous vineyard in the German Middle Rhine wine-growing region on the left bank of the Rhine near the town of Boppard, south of Koblenz. Boppard dates back to the Celtic settlement of Boudobriga, which was originally located on the south side of the Bopparder Hamm. It flourished from the first to the third century. After the abandonment of the Limes on the right bank of the Rhine in 355, the Romans built forts close to the banks. This is how the Roman fort of Bodobrica was built on flood-free land directly on the banks of the Rhine, which was then abandoned at the beginning of the fifth century. With its corner and wall towers, it is one of the best-preserved forts in Germany.

For me, Lexicon from wein.plus is the most comprehensive and best source of information about wine currently available.
