single vineyard (also known as Dompropst) in the municipality of Graach (Bernkastel area) in the German Moselle wine-growing region. The name refers to the fact that the cathedral provost of Trier was once entitled to a third of the wine tithes from the Graach vineyards. In a register from 1731, the value is estimated at 200 florins (guilders). The vineyard is, so to speak, the centrepiece of the surrounding single vineyard Himmelreich. The picture shows the municipality of Graach with the single vineyards Abtsberg, Domprobst, Himmelreich and Josephshöfer.

Domprobst - Gemeinde Graach (Bernkastel, Mosel)

The south-west facing vineyard at an altitude of between 130 and 260 metres above sea level with a slope of 50 to 60% covers 18 hectares of vines on medium-textured, stony, weathered clay-slate soil. This has excellent water retention capacity. The Riesling variety in particular is cultivated here, mainly using the traditional Mosel stake training method, as well as Pinot Noir.
