The white wine varieties Riesling and Pinot Gris, among others, are cultivated here. The vineyards Karst Ernst, Villa Wolf, Wachtenburg Winzer and Zimmermann Emil, for example, have shares in the site.

The glossary is a monumental achievement and one of the most important contributions to wine knowledge. Of all the encyclopaedias I use on the subject of wine, it is by far the most important. That was the case ten years ago and it hasn't changed since.
