WISSELBRUNNEN, Hattenheim | VDP.GROSSE LAGE®
The VDP.GROSSE LAGE® WISSELBRUNNEN lies along the train route between Eltville and Hattenheim and benefits from the sunlight reflected from the broad Rhine River just a few metres away. The 18-hectare southwest slope lies at 100 metres a.s.l. Predominantly Riesling grows on the medium heavy, tertiary marl and deep calcareous loam. The soil is warm and well-drained, yet still retains enough moisture to nourish the vines. The site is quite flat at 10 percent gradient.
