The vineyard is situated in the municipality of Bad Neuenahr in the German wine-growing region of the Ahr, at the foot of the Red Wine Trail. It was founded in 1980 by the Görres family, initially with 1.5 hectares of vineyards. The manor house, an Art Nouveau villa, was built by the Mülhens family, known for the ‘4711’ brand. There is a wine tavern on the premises. Wine tastings and wine walks are offered. The premises can be used for events. The estate has been run by Marc Linden and his wife Michaela since 2005.

The vineyards cover around seven hectares across the single-vineyard sites of Daubhaus, Forstberg, Riegelfeld, Rosenthal, Silberberg and Ursulinengarten (municipality of Ahrweiler), Schieferlay and Sonnenberg (in the municipality of Bad Neuenahr), as well as Alte Lay, Himmelchen and Kräuterberg (in the municipality of Walporzheim). Around 70 per cent of the vineyards are planted with Pinot Noir, whilst the remaining 30 per cent are planted with Frühburgunder, Pinot Gris and Pinot Blanc.

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