THE SITE
The Kirchspiel opens up like an amphitheatre toward the Rhine, and receives the sun’s first rays in the morning. Here the vineyards, with their east to southeast exposure, are sheltered from the cold west winds; this provides the Kirchspiel with a choice microclimate. Our vineyards here are planted mainly in the upper portion of the site, with a gradient of up to thirty per cent.
THE SOIL
Primarily clay marl with limestone deposits as well as loam composed of weathered limestone –this gives the Kirchspiel its unmistakeable, spicy and elegant character.
