Wolfshöhle

single vineyard in the municipality of Bacharach (Loreley area) in the German Middle Rhine wine-growing region. It is located in the Steeg side valley of the Rhine, which is crossed by the Münzbach stream. To the east is single vineyard Posten. The name "Wolfshelde", first mentioned in 1335, is probably derived from a former owner called "Wolf". The picture shows Stahleck Castle as well as the individual sites of Posten (front) and Wolfshöhle (back).

Wolfshöhle - Burg Stahleck mit den Einzellagen Posten und Wolfshöhle

The south to south-east facing vineyards at 100 to 200 metres above sea level with a slope of 50 to 60% cover 20 hectares of vines. Wolfshöhle is separated from the neighbouring St. Jost (Steeg) site by the Mönchsrinne (stream). The soils consist of weathered clay slate and crystalline Hunsrück slate. Here, mainly Riesling is cultivated. The Bastian Friedrich, Dr Kauer and Ratzenberger wineries, for example, have shares in the site.
