Mauerberg

single vineyard in the municipality of Neuweier (Ortenau area) in the German wine-growing region of Baden. Wines from this site were bottled in Bocksbeutel bottles as early as the beginning of the 19th century. This exemption for, among others, the municipality of Neuweier still applies today. The south-west to south-facing vineyards at an altitude of 180 to 290 metres above sea level with a slope of 50 to 80%, and in some parcels with a slope of 20 to 50%, cover 40 hectares of vineyards. Exposed areas or parcels are "Mauer-Wein" and "Das Goldene Loch". The former is a steep slope with dry stone walls. The second owes its name to the last rays of sunlight of the day, which make the cauldron-shaped area appear in a golden light. The wines grown here are also marketed under these additional names. The municipality of Neuweier has the right to bottle the wines in Bocksbeutel. The deep soils consist of weathered porphyry rubble, granite, loess and clay with quartz porphyry and basalt rock in the subsoil. Riesling is the main variety cultivated here. The Fendt Weinfamilie, Nägelsförst, Nieger Sven and Schloss Neuweier wineries, for example, have shares in the site.
