single vineyard in the municipality of Goseck (Neuenberg Castle area) in the German wine-growing region of Saale-Unstrut. The first vines were planted here by the Benedictines as early as 1080. The vineyard then became the property of the Counts of Scxhloss Goseck and finally came into state ownership in 1903. At this time, the mountain lay fallow due to the phylloxera catastrophe and was only cultivated again as part of graft vine research. The south-west facing terraced vineyard with a slope of 40 to 45% covers 3.5 hectares of vines on soils of sandy loam on weathered mottled sandstone. The grape varieties cultivated here include Riesling and Pinot Blanc. The site is solely owned by the Kloster Pforta winery.
