single vineyard in the municipality of Rauenthal in the German wine-growing region of Rheingau. It was first mentioned in 1211 and 1600 as "Wülffen" or "Wüllfen", which was used to describe a rounded mound. According to another version, the name could also refer to the family name Wolf, which was once widespread in the Rheingau.

The south-facing vineyards lie at around 180 to 240 metres above sea level and have a slope grad ient of 10 to 40%. They cover 16 hectares of vineyards with medium to deep phyllite slate soils interspersed with a layer of tertiary marl. The Riesling variety is mainly cultivated here. The Albus, Hessische Staatsweingüter (Kloster Eberbach) and H. J. Ernst wineries, for example, have shares in the site.

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