Falkenberg

single vineyard in the municipality of Dienheim (Nierstein area) in the German wine-growing region of Rheinhessen. The east-facing vineyards at an altitude of 140 to 190 metres above sea level with a slope of 10 to 25% cover 17 hectares of vineyards. They are especially protected by hedges and trees. The soils consist of large loess beds with a high proportion of clay, which are strongly interspersed with shell limestone, marl, hanging loam and clayey loam.
