Eck

single vineyard in the municipality of Altenahr/Reimerzhoven in the German wine-growing region of Ahr. The name is derived from the medieval castle "Ekka", which was razed and demolished in 1249. The south to south-east facing vineyards at 150 to 260 metres above sea level with a slope of 40 to 60% cover almost eight hectares of vines. They lie on greywacke and slate weathered soils with a high proportion of stone under a very thin layer of humus. There is also loess and loess loam in the Reimerzhoven district. Incidentally, the first monorack railway (single-rail cog railway) in the growing region was built in this single vineyard area. Pinot Noir and Riesling are the main grape varieties cultivated here. The producers Deutzerhof, Lingen Peter, Winzergenossenschaft Mayschoß-Altenahr and Sermann-Kreuzberg, for example, have shares in the site.
