single vineyard in the municipality of Bensheim in the German wine-growing region of Hessische Bergstrasse. The south to southwest facing vineyards at 130 to 220 metres above sea level with slopes of up to 30% cover 13 hectares of vineyards. The soils consist of shallow granite weathering with a thin layer of soil and limestone rocks underneath. The varieties Riesling, Dornfelder and Pinot Gris are cultivated here. The Bergsträßer Winzer, Griesel & Compagnie and Hessische Staatsweingüter (Domaine Bergstraße), for example, have shares in the site.
Serious sources on the internet are rare - and Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one such source. When researching for my articles, I regularly consult the wein.plus encyclopaedia. There I get reliable and detailed information.
