single vineyard in the municipality of Oberrotweil (Kaiserstuhl area) in the German wine-growing region of Baden. The flat vineyards, which are oriented from west to east, as well as in the flatter area to the northeast, with slopes ranging from 0 to 20%, cover about 300 hectares of vineyards on loess soils. Due to the truly enormous size, however, it is a very inhomogeneous site. Above all, Burgundy varieties such as Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and Pinot Blanc are cultivated here. The Bercher-Schmidt, Marković and Salwey wineries, for example, have shares in the site.
As honorary chairman of the Domäne Wachau, it is the easiest and quickest way for me to access the wein.plus encyclopaedia when I have questions. The certainty of receiving well-founded and up-to-date information here makes it an indispensable guide.
