single vineyard in the municipality of Dernau in the German wine-growing region of Ahr. The southeast to west-facing vineyards at 125 to 260 metres above sea level with a slope of 10 to 60% cover 22 hectares of vineyards. The soils consist of weathered greywacke with loess and sloping loam in the lower areas. The varieties cultivated here are Pinot Noir, Frühburgunder and Müller-Thurgau. The Ahr Winzer eG, Bertram Julia, Kreuzberg, Maibachfarm, Meyer-Näkel, Jean Stodden, Riske Erwin and Riske Reinhold, for example, have shares in the vineyard. There is another single vineyard called Hardtberg in the Ahr municipality of Rech.
The wein.plus encyclopaedia is a comprehensive, well-researched reference work. Available anytime and anywhere, it has become an indispensable part of teaching, used by students and myself alike. Highly recommended!
