“Our winery is situated in Freinsheim, in the northern part of the \u201cMittelhaardt\u201d region, approx. 10 km north of Deidesheim. It directly faces the primeval limestone reef that rises between the neighboring village of Kallstadt and the nearby Palatine Forest. Some of our best single-site vineyards are located on the mineral-rich soil of that former quarry.<\/strong>“<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The soil of the single sites Saumagen, Steinacker and Kalkofen are characterized by limestone and lime marl. The grapevines grow at altitudes between 160 and 230 meters above sea level and are influenced by the nearness of the Palatine Forest. These are perfect conditions for cool-climate Rieslings and Sp\u00e4tburgunder. The vineyards in Ungstein lie at a lower elevation and are thus exposed to a warmer micro-climate. There, the fertile soil is composed of loess and loam, with sandstone in the deeper layers. Red earth or \u201cterra rossa\u201d is the special feature, particulary in the single site called Weilberg, where the Romans first cultivated wine over 2000 years ago. This terra rossa soil is what gives Riesling and Pinot Blanc their distinctive spice and minerality. Freinsheim is the warmest location. The alluvium left behind in the former path of the Rhine contains a lot of sand and gravel, which are excellent heat sources and allow grapes \u2013 especially the international red varieties \u2013 to mature perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“Within a small area, three terroirs that could not be more different \u2013 no wonder our hearts beat for more than a single variety of grapes! When it comes to Riesling, Pinot Noir and Red Blends, we are in our element.”<\/h1>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Locations<\/h1>\n
\n

Ungsteiner Nussriegel<\/h2>\n

VDP.Erste Lage<\/h3>\n

Just a stone\u2019s throw from the Grand Cru WEILBERG. Clayey soil, with sandstone in the deeper layers and a warm microclimate.<\/p>\n

90 \u2013 120 m NN
\n65,1 ha<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Annaberg<\/h2>\n

VDP.Gro\u00dfe Lage<\/h3>\n

Surrounded by the Palatinate Forest and walls, closed with an iron door, the vineyard reminds one of a Burgundy \u201cClos\u201d. Colored sandstone soil, mixed with chalk and a cool micro-climate characterize this historically significant single-site.<\/p>\n

160 – 180 m NN
\n5,03 ha<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Saumagen<\/h2>\n

VDP.Gro\u00dfe Lage<\/h3>\n

One of the most famous Grand Cru sites in the Pfalz region. Marl lime mixed with countless small limestone rocks characterizes the soil in this small basin, facing south\/south-east. The vines can flourish in best conditions.<\/p>\n

180\u2013200 meter above sea level
\n33,1 hectares<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Weilberg<\/h2>\n

VDP.Gro\u00dfe Lage<\/h3>\n

Facing south\/south-east, WEILBERG Grand Cru is situated around an ancient, 2000 year old Roman winery. Clayey, red Terra Rossa soil, very rich in iron (red earth).<\/p>\n

140-170 meter above sea level
\n31,89 hectares<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Kallstadter Steinacker<\/h2>\n

VDP.Erste Lage<\/h3>\n

On the top of the hill, above SAUMAGEN Grand Cru. Cool-climate, influenced by the Palatinate Forest behind. Very dry, calcareous soil.<\/p>\n

Felsenberg<\/h2>\n

VDP.Gro\u00dfe Lage<\/h3>\n

Our single-site FELSENBERG is situated within the nature preserve of the \u201eBerntal\u201c valley and surrounded by a limestone wall. Sitting on Tertiary limestone bedrock, on a slightly steep slope, the entire vineyard faces south. In 2011 we resurrected this old, almost forgotten site and planted Burgundy Pinot Noir clones there.<\/p>\n
