The soil is characterized by Taunus quartzite with an overlay of fertile loam and a layer of loess, as well as a small amount of iron dioxide, which colors the soil reddish.

VINEYARD
The totally south-facing vineyard is steep as 45° and climbs from 114 m to 181m above sea level. The forest on top of the Taunus protects the vineyards from cold winds from the North and in the South the Rhine lays like a lake in front of the estate on the foothills. The 50° parallel runs directly through the vineyard and the unique soil formation with Taunusquarzit topped with loam and rich loss is perfect for mineralic Rieslings keeps water and temperature very well.
