single vineyard in the municipality of Piesport (Bernkastel area) in the German Moselle wine-growing region. In the Prussian site classification of 1868, it was one of the highest classified sites on the Moselle. The southeast-facing vineyard at an altitude of 120 to 200 metres with a slope of 50 to 75% covers five hectares of vines on red slate soil with a high proportion of fine earth. A steep sandstone staircase with over 600 steps leads from the Moselle to the upper end. Here, mainly the Riesling variety is cultivated. The Haart Reinhold and Später-Veit wineries, for example, have shares in the site.

The glossary is a monumental achievement and one of the most important contributions to wine knowledge. Of all the encyclopaedias I use on the subject of wine, it is by far the most important. That was the case ten years ago and it hasn't changed since.
