single vineyard in the municipality of Deidesheim (Mittelhaardt-Deutsche Weinstraße area) in the German wine-growing region of Pfalz. The southeast to southwest facing vineyards with slopes ranging from 5 to 20% cover 111 hectares of vineyards. The soils consist of loamy sand, partly interspersed with boulders and limestone weathered rock. Due to its enormous size, it is a very inhomogeneous site. The Riesling variety is mainly cultivated here. The wineries Acham-Magin, Bassermann-Jordan, Biffar Josef, Christmann Arnold, Kimich, Lucashof, Margarethenhof, Reichsrat von Buhl, Reinhardt Stefan, Siben, Spindler Heinrich and Weingut von Winning, for example, have shares in the site. There are other single vineyards called Herrgottsacker in the two Palatinate municipalities of Dirkheim and Kleinkarlbach.
For my many years of work as an editor with a wine and culinary focus, I always like to inform myself about special questions at Wine lexicon. Spontaneous reading and following links often leads to exciting discoveries in the wide world of wine.
