single vineyard in the municipality of Münster-Sarmsheim in the German wine-growing region of Nahe. The name is derived from the local term "Daute" for "young seedling", as young vines were probably grown here in the past. The south-facing vineyard at 110 to 180 metres above sea level with a slope of 10 to 60% covers just over four hectares of vines. The site is very well protected from cold westerly winds by the foothills of the Münster Forest. Grey Devonian slate interspersed with quartzite forms the subsoil of the loess loam parent soil. It has a good water retention capacity. The Adelseck, Göttelmann and Kruger-Rumpf wineries, for example, have shares in the vineyards.
I have great respect for the scope and quality of the wein.plus encyclopaedia. It is a unique place to go for crisp, sound information on terms from the world of wine.
