The “Ürziger Würzgarten” is internationally recognized as a specialty among the Moselle vineyards. It is one of the steepest sites in the Middle Moselle and therefore enjoys very long periods of sunshine. It consists of red sandstone and slate soil, which results in a very special character with lush, spicy, fruity aromas and a particularly full-bodied wine. 100% of our vines are ungrafted, often very old vines (50-70 years old). They manage to draw water and nutrients from the depths of the soil, even in very dry years. The steep slate slope provides another key advantage during wetter periods: rain and moisture quickly seep into the soil here, but the numerous stones prevent it from forming channels and eroding the soil. Erosion and waterlogging are foreign concepts here. This combination of medium to deep, very stony slate soils and a pure south-facing location with intense sunlight results in a wine that is unique worldwide, with a full-bodied, fruity character and an intense mineral aftertaste.
