single vineyard in the municipality of Bensheim in the German wine-growing region of Hessische Bergstrasse. The south to southwest facing vineyards at 130 to 220 metres above sea level with slopes of up to 30% cover 13 hectares of vineyards. The soils consist of shallow granite weathering with a thin layer of soil and limestone rocks underneath. The varieties Riesling, Dornfelder and Pinot Gris are cultivated here. The Bergsträßer Winzer, Griesel & Compagnie and Hessische Staatsweingüter (Domaine Bergstraße), for example, have shares in the site.

The Wine lexicon helps me to keep up to date and refresh my knowledge. Thank you for this Lexicon that will never end in terms of topicality! That's what makes it so exciting to come back often.
