Stopover for demanding Rieslings and Pinot Noirs Goat? Stubborn soil? Elevated? There are various interpretations. Did the Romans once sacrifice goats here? Doubtful. The brown clay-limestone soil can indeed be stubborn, according to the winemakers. "Elevated" could be true, as there was once a rest stop along the old trade route in the area of this single vineyard. A stand for resting loads, a “Bockstein,” is conceivable. What is certain is that demanding Rieslings and Pinot Noirs ripen optimally here, with fine fruity notes and a refreshing mineral acidity.
