single vineyard in the municipality of Hattenheim in the German wine-growing region of Rheingau. It was first mentioned in the 14th century with the name "Hasele", which probably refers to the hazelnut bushes that were once planted here. In the 19th century, the name "Hasselt" was commonly used. The south-west facing vineyards at 100 metres above sea level with a slope of 20 to 25% cover 33 hectares of vines on deep loess and clay soils. They are sheltered from the wind and have a special heat retention capacity and good water storage capacity. The Riesling variety is mainly cultivated here. The Barth, Erbslöh, Georg Müller Stiftung, Kaufmann Urban and Nikolai Heinz wineries, for example, have shares in the site.

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
