Mandelstein

single vineyard in the municipality of Boppard in the German Mittelrhein wine-growing region. The name is probably due to the original growth of pine trees (Mandel = pine). It is part of the Bopparder Hamm vineyard, which is also a district of Boppard of the same name. To the east is the single vineyard Feuerlay, above which is single vineyard Weingrube. The foot of the slope is only 50 to 80 metres from the Rhine.

Mandelstein - Boppard (Mittelrhein) - Weinberge

The south to south-southeast facing vineyards at 70 to 170 metres above sea level on greenish weathered clay-slate soil cover 13 hectares of vines. With slopes of up to 70% (35°), the site is one of the steepest vineyards in Germany and Europe. The Riesling variety is mainly cultivated here. The Didinger, Heilig Grab, Königshof, Müller Matthias and Perll August wineries, 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.
