a single vineyard in Kamptal. exact position on weinlagen.info

The Heiligenstein is currently considered by most winelovers to be one of the very best vineyards in all of Europe. Here, volcanic rock has been blanketed with desert sandstone from the Permian period – this formation, which arose some 250–270 million years ago, offers a solid basis for growing the finest Rieslings. The microclimate in this shell-shaped vineyard stimulates the aromas that are the most characteristic of this noble variety. And between the vineyard parcels one encounters flora and fauna that are more typically found in far distant southern, Mediterranean environs.
