single vineyard in the municipality of Bacharach in the German Middle Rhine wine-growing region. The name of the site goes back to a medieval Wilhelmite monastery in the Winzbachtal valley. The current vineyard area includes the Winzbach Valley, the Bombach Valley and the slopes below Stahleck Castle. The southeast-facing vineyard lies at 120 to 220 metres above sea level with a slope of 50% to 60% and covers almost 5 hectares of vines on a Devonian slate weathered soil with a high proportion of loess loam and fine earth. The Riesling and Pinot Noir varieties are cultivated here. The Dr Kauer and Ratzenberger wineries, 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.
