Braune Kupp

single vineyard in the municipality of Wiltingen (Saar area) in the German Moselle wine-growing region. It should not be confused with the neighbouring Wiltinger Kupp. The vineyard, which faces south-southwest to south-southeast at an altitude of 160 to 260 metres above sea level with a slope of 50 to 60%, covers four hectares of vineyards. Only the Riesling variety is cultivated on deep slate weathered soil with a high skeletal content and clayey fine soil. The site is solely owned by the Egon Müller-Scharzhof winery.

The glossary is a monumental achievement and one of the most important contributions to wine knowledge. Of all the encyclopaedias I use on the subject of wine, it is by far the most important. That was the case ten years ago and it hasn't changed since.
