single vineyard in the municipality of Dernau in the German wine-growing region of Ahr. The name is derived from the former ownership of the parish church of Dernau. The steep, south-facing vineyards cover ten hectares of vines with slopes of up to 60% at an altitude of 125 to 220 metres above sea level. On the greywacke and slate weathered soils, the red wine varieties Blauer Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir), Blauer Portugieser, Frühburgunder and Regent, as well as the white wine varieties Riesling, Kerner, Müller-Thurgau and Optima are cultivated. It is worth mentioning that a former federal government bunker is hidden in the depths of the hill. The producers Ahr Winzer eG, Bertram-Baltes, Heiner & Kreuzberg, Kreuzberg, Meyer-Näkel, Riske Erwin and Riske Reinhold have shares in the site.
