The Pettenthal is our first historical vineyard on the Roter Hang and lies at an altitude of 80 - 170 metres. With a slope of 70-100%, it is the steepest parcel in all of Rheinhessen. At the end of the 80s, in times of greatest depression, Carolin's father bought a few rows of vines. At that time, it was the hectare that counted, not the origin, and the Pettenthal was difficult to work. Today, we cultivate the Pettenthal in the prime section of this globally unique origin, which then, as now, stands unchallenged as a great terroir for Riesling. The soils of this Grosse Lage consist of red clay slate and sandstone on the steep slope and of loam and clay in the flatter part. The cadastral name has existed since 1753.
The grapes are carefully selected by hand, the must ferments spontaneously and is carefully matured in casks.
