Forstberg

single vineyard in the municipality of Ahrweiler in the German wine-growing region of Ahr. The name of the site is derived from the field name of the same name. It is either due to the proximity to the Forstwald forest or to the former Ahrweiler noble family "von der Forst". The south to south-west facing vineyards at 110 to 180 metres above sea level cover 34 hectares of vines, of which 11 hectares are planted. The soils consist mainly of greywacke and slate, mixed with loess and loess loam. Pinot Noir and the Blauer Portugieser and Dornfelder varieties are cultivated on more than half of the land. The Bertram-Baltes, Kriechel Peter, Sermann-Kreuzberg and Weingut Sonnenberg wineries, for example, have shares in the site.
