single vineyard in the municipality of Piesport ( Bernkastel area) in the German Moselle wine-growing region. It is located directly adjacent to Piesport in the centre of the single vineyard Goldtröpfchen vineyard. The south-facing vineyard at 120 to 150 metres above sea level with a slope of 30 to 70% covers five hectares of vines. The stony, deep, weathered clay-slate soil with a high proportion of fine earth is interspersed with quartz.

The extensive wooded areas above the steep vineyards ensure an excellent water balance. In the centre is a restored large wine press dating back to Roman times, which is used every year during a wine festival. It is mainly Riesling that is cultivated here. The wineries Hain Kurt, Haart Johann, Haart Reinhold, Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt, Reuscher-Haart and Später-Veit, for example, have shares in the vineyards.

In the past, you needed a wealth of encyclopaedias and specialist literature to keep up to date in your vinophile professional life. Today, Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one of my best helpers and can rightly be called the "bible of wine knowledge".
