The south-south-east facing Kapellenberg vineyard was already discovered for viticulture by the Romans. The Benedictine monks of the Wigoldesberg monastery already regarded the site as one of the best vineyard locations in Kraichgau. Our highest and steepest vineyard is located above the village of Eichelberg on a ridge crowned by a mixed beech-oak forest. The speciality of the soil is the 160 million year old Stubensandstein with volcano that only occurs there. The high proportion of sandstone results in a very barren soil. Kapellenberg shows aromas of passion fruit, lime and mango, combined with a fine acidity and minerality
