A name for a single vineyard that occurs several times in Germany. The name indicates a former property or cultivation by nunneries. In addition to the three listed below, there is also a Frauenberg in the municipality of Bremm (Mosel).
The southeast-facing vineyards with 15 to 35% slopes cover 155 hectares of vines. The soils consist of loess, marl, limestone and stony clay loam. The Riesling variety is cultivated here. The wineries Battenfeld-Spanier, Göhring Wilfried, Julius Georg, Keller Klaus, Peth Wolfgang & René and Scherner-Kleinhanß, for example, have shares in the site.
I have great respect for the scope and quality of the wein.plus encyclopaedia. It is a unique place to go for crisp, sound information on terms from the world of wine.
