Im Langenberg

Langenberg is located in the middle of the Kapellenberg vineyard slope between 120 and 180 metres. The six-hectare site faces south-southeast with a 20 – 40 % slope. The Grosse Lage borders the Dautenpflänzer to the east. The soil is quartzite and Devon slate covered with loam, which contributes to good water storage capacity. Langenberg is well protected from the wind due to its location in a side valley of the Nahe below the Münster fores
