Kupp

A designation used for several single-vineyard sites in the German wine-growing region of the Mosel-Saar area (the name does not appear in other wine-growing regions). The term is derived from ‘Kuppe’ (the summit of a mountain or hill).

At a wine auction in 1906, a barrel of “1904 Ayler Kupp” fetched the highest price ever paid on the Saar at that time: 15,030 gold marks (equivalent to around €500,000 today). In the course of land consolidation in 1973, several formerly independent vineyards were incorporated into the site.
