Vineyard Location
Mosel, Germany
Terroir
The Scharzhofberg vineyard features dominant gray slate (schist) with excellent drainage that retains warmth in this cool northerly climate. The western parcels have weathered slate allowing deep root penetration, while quartzite adds flavor complexity. Some parcels contain pre-phylloxera vines planted in the 19th century.
