Schloss Schwabsburg

single vineyard in the municipality of Nierstein (Nierstein area) in the German wine-growing region of Rheinhessen. It is part of the so-called "Red Slope" within the Rhine front and adjoins the single vineyard Orbel. The name refers to the castle built in the 12th century, which is now only a ruin. The stony and shallow soils consist of red clay slate (Rotliegendes). The Riesling variety is mainly cultivated here. The Huff Fritz Ekkehard, Huff Georg Gustav and Turmglück wineries, for example, have shares in the site.
