Cock (single vineyard Germany)

single vineyard in the municipality of Bacharach near the Loreley in the German wine-growing region of the Middle Rhine. The name probably derives from "Hain", which describes a parcel of land enclosed by a hedge or forest. As a second version, the origin is traced back to the former Hane monastery, in whose possession the vineyard once was. The vineyard, which faces south and south-southeast at an altitude of 90 to 200 metres above sea level with a slope of 55 to 65%, comprises almost six hectares of vines that extend directly along the banks of the Rhine into a side valley. The heat-retaining soils consist of dark, weathered Devonian slate with a high rock content. Roofing slate was mined under the vineyard until 1936. Due to the low water storage capacity, artificial irrigation (drip irrigation) is necessary. Pinot Noir is cultivated in the lower area and Riesling above. The site is predominantly owned by the Toni Jost Hahnenhof 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.
