Alongside Altenberg, Herrenberg, Kirchberg, Klosterberg, Rosenberg and Sonnenberg, it is one of the most common single-vineyard designations in Germany. A single vineyard called Kapellenberg occurs a total of 37 times in 8 of the 13 German wine-growing regions. There is often a chapel in the vineyard.
This west to south-west facing vineyard with a slope of 30 to 45% covers almost seven hectares of vines on weathered granite soil. Pinot Noir, Riesling and Müller-Thurgau are cultivated here. The site is solely owned by the Schwab Josef winery.

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
