single vineyard in the municipality of Boppard in the German Mittelrhein wine-growing region. It is part of the Bopparder Hamm vineyard, which is also a district of Boppard of the same name. The foot of the Ohlenberg slope is separated from the banks of the Rhine by a road running along the shore and is only about 100 metres away. The name goes back to the fishing industry that was once important here, when there was a large supply of salmon and Rhine eels (Ohl = eel). To the west is the Feuerlay site and above it the Weingrube site.

The south to south-south-west facing vineyard at 60 to 150 metres above sea level covers almost eight hectares of vines on weathered clay-slate soil with sandstone. With a slope of 20 to 65% (33°), the site is one of the steepest vineyards in Germany. The Riesling variety is mainly cultivated here. The Königshof, Müller Matthias, Perll August and Weingart Florian wineries, for example, have shares in the site.

I have great respect for the scope and quality of the wein.plus encyclopaedia. It is a unique place to go for crisp, sound information on terms from the world of wine.
