single vineyard in the municipality of Hattenheim in the German wine-growing region of Rheingau. The name is derived from "Wiesel" or "Wiese". According to a second version, however, this is a corruption of the Latin "Fistula", which means tube and refers to the well located there. The south to south-west facing vineyards at 100 to 120 metres above sea level with an 8% slope cover 18 hectares of vines. The medium-heavy tertiary marl soils with calcareous loess loam have excellent water retention capacity. The Riesling variety is mainly cultivated here. The Barth, Eser August, Freiherr Langwerth von Simmern, Georg Müller Stiftung, Kaufmann Urban, Rüdesheimer Sektkellerei Ohlig, Schloss Reinhartshausen, Schloss Schönborn and Spreitzer Andreas & Bernd wineries, for example, have shares in the site.
