Location & Terroir Vineyard: The Rüdesheimer Berg Rottland is considered the best location of the Rüdesheimer Berg next to the Rüdesheimer Berg Schlossberg and is located west of the outskirts of Rüdesheim. The name of the site comes from the Middle High German "rotten" and stands for clearing in the 11th century. The 34 hectares have a south and south-east orientation with about 30% slope. Just as on the Schlossberg, the Riesling here has a very mineral character, but is somewhat fruitier, has more enamel and is present earlier than that of the Schlossberg. Terroir: Heavily weathered, deep Taunus quartzite with a veil of loess and good water retention capacity.
