The location with an approximately 12-15% gradient to the west extends along the Pfingstbach above our winery directly to the north and is at an altitude of 120 - 170 m above sea level.
The soils consist of fertile, gravelly loess, interspersed with iron-rich quartzites and clay marls. An old common name is “Eiserberg”, which refers to this rock base.
The Große Gewächs come from a special plot in Lenchen. It is located just a few steps away from our winery and was planted in 1964. Very narrow rows and the old vines develop an absolutely magical overall taste.
Vinification:
100% selective, careful hand picking
Gentle whole grape pressing over several hours
spontaneous fermentation with natural yeasts
the natural composition of the must is not changed
18 months on the full yeast in the traditional “piece barrel” (1,200 l).

The plot is located on the banks of the Rhine and faces south with a slight slope.
The soil is calcareous, sandy loess, partly interspersed with terrace sediments and rocks of the Alzey Formation (marine sand).
The vines are 45 to 65 years old and are therefore the oldest in our stock. They only produce a few, small-berry grapes with complex, intense aromas.
The river directly shapes the climate: it is like a temperature moderator. The constant air circulation compensates for peaks in cold and heat.
In addition, the reflection of the sun's rays on the water surface brings a radiation quality that is particularly beneficial for aroma development.
