Vineyard Site
The south- and southwest-facing terraced slopes of the Heiligenstein vineyard are defined by a unique geological formation that has been preserved for millions of years. The bedrock consists of weathered desert sandstone and volcanic inclusions from the Permian period, found in this form only here. These distinctive soils are barren and well-drained, encouraging deep rooting and giving the wines their unmistakable spiciness, minerality, and longevity.
