Mönchberg

Common single vineyard name in the German-speaking world, usually derived from a vineyard run or owned by a monastery (monks). See also under Mönchsberg.

Mayschoss - Ahr

The name goes back to the former monastic property of the Augustinian abbey of Klosterrath near Aachen. The west to south-east facing vineyards at 140 to 260 metres above sea level with a slope of 10 to 75% cover 61 hectares of vines. They consist of stony to slightly loamy greywacke and weathered slate soils. The adjoining forest above protects against cold air infiltration. The steep terraces are among the best parts of the inhomogeneous site. The main grape varieties cultivated are Riesling, Pinot Noir, Frühburgunder and Blauer Portugieser, some of which are also ungrafted cultivated. The Bertram-Baltes, Deutzerhof, Jean Stodden, Josten Marc and Max Schell wineries, as well as members of the WG Mayschoß-Altenahr, have shares in the site.
