Vineyard

Vineyard Site
“Goldberg” consists of several groups of hills with deep Loess soil. A special characteristic of Loess soil is the valuable ability to store Water, which has especially in arid times many advantages. On one side are the warm southern slopes, on the other side the cooler northern slopes: This combination makes the “Goldberg” to one of the most interesting locations.
