A common name for a single vineyard in the German-speaking world, usually derived from a vineyard run or owned by a monastery (monks). See also under Mönchberg.
The south-southwest facing vineyards with 20 to 30% slopes cover 44 hectares of vines on shell limestone soils. Members of the WG Weingärtner Markelsheim own shares in the site.
There are other single vineyards named Mönchsberg in the Württemberg municipalities of Bad Mergentheim and Elpersheim (Kocher-Jagst-Tauber), as well as Brackenheim and Dürrenzimmern (Württembergisch Unterland).

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
