Juffer

single vineyard in the municipality of Brauneberg (Bernkastel area) in the German Moselle wine-growing region. The name refers to the former ownership by the Franciscan nuns, who were popularly called "Juffen" (virgins, prayer sisters or pious women) in the Rhineland dialect. The south-west to south-east facing vineyards at 110 to 240 metres above sea level with a slope of 60 to 75% cover 31.5 hectares of vines. The soil is shallow to deep in the lower areas and consists of fine weathered Devonian slate with a slate content of 60 to 80%, which is partly interspersed with clay. It has an excellent water retention capacity.

If I were to rate websites, you would deserve the highest rating. It is rare to come across websites that provide such a large amount of data and are still so intuitive to use. Respect for the lovingly researched and informatively prepared encyclopedia. Keep it up!
