Schlossböckelheimer Felsenberg:
A very old and famous site, located on a steep southern slope. The vines grow under extreme conditions in weathered volcanic porphyry soil. The stony ground heats quickly during the day, and that warmth produces characteristic Rieslings with a racy fruitiness and mineral acidity, internationally recognized for their distinctive flinty aromas. At the heart of this fantastic vineyard stands our Felsentürmchen (“small rock tower”). The mineral-rich Felsenberg grapes undergo an intense selective harvest and the label bear the symbol of the Felsentürmchen. The Spätlese from this site is only available in select vintages and is a late release, often held back for around five years.
