Saumagen

single vineyard in the municipality of Kallstadt (Mittelhaardt-Deutsche Weinstraße area) in the German wine-growing region of Pfalz. It has existed since 1810 and lime was already being mined here in Roman times. There are several variants on the origin of the name, ranging from the nickname of a former owner, a derivation of the name for a headdress worn by Palatinate peasant women, a modified form of a name used under French rule, to the most common, namely that the location resembles the outline of a "Saumagen" (a hearty Palatinate meat dish made from pork, sausage meat and potatoes).

Saumagen - Weinberge

The south to south-east facing vineyards at 160 to 220 metres above sea level with a slope of 10 to 25% cover 40 hectares of vines. The permeable, deep soils consist of loess-loam and calcareous marl mixed with many small limestones. The barrenness of the soil means that the vines are deeply rooted. The Riesling variety is mainly grown here. The Benderhof, Brenneis-Koch, Henninger IV, Henninger Walter, Koehler-Ruprecht, Kuhn Philipp, Petri, Rings, Schumacher, Weingut am Nil (with the eponymous "Nil" parcel), Wolf Michael and Zeter Oliver wineries, for example, have shares in the site.
