single vineyard in the municipality of Bad Kreuznach in the German wine-growing region of Nahe. The name, first mentioned in 1684, has nothing to do with Fastnacht, but is derived from "Norr" (barren place of pebbles and gravel). The second part of the name refers to the hilltop. The south-west to south-facing vineyards with slopes of 5 to 30% cover 28 hectares of vines. The soils consist of gravelly and fine sandy loam with some gravel and crushed stone in the subsoil. Mainly Riesling is cultivated here. The Anheuser Paul, Emrich-Montigny, Reichsgraf von Plettenberg and Weingut in den Zehn Morgen wineries, for example, have shares.

For me, Lexicon from wein.plus is the most comprehensive and best source of information about wine currently available.
