single vineyard in the municipality of Longuich (Bernkastel area) in the German Moselle wine-growing region. The southwest-facing vineyards with slopes of up to 60% cover 12 hectares of vineyards on deep slate weathered soil with a high proportion of fine earth. Riesling is the main grape grown here. The Carl Loewen, Clüsserath-Hilt, Eifel Bernhard, Römerhof and Schmitt Heinz wineries, for example, have shares in the site. Above them lies the Herrenberg single vineyard (the two Herrenberg vineyards sometimes lead to confusion).
In the past, you needed a wealth of encyclopaedias and specialist literature to keep up to date in your vinophile professional life. Today, Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one of my best helpers and can rightly be called the "bible of wine knowledge".
