Climate
God has forgotten
a piece of Mediteranean in Germany - Pfalz"
Here you will find chestnuts, figs, lemons
and oranges. palm trees, olive trees, oleander, agave and cypress
trees growing...
During winter time some of these will need protection for a couple
of weeks in case of frosty days.
The soil
Chalky, loamy soil - 20 cm up to several meters thick on:
Limestone
in Großkarlbacher Burgweg, Laumersheimer Kirschgarten, Laumersheimer
Mandelberg and Dirmsteiner Mandelpfad.
These vineyards are perfect for all types of grapes like the Burgundy family
of grapes and Chardonnay. Very often, you will find that our best barrique
wine come from these vineyards.
Sand and Gravel
in Großkarlbacher
Osterberg and in particular in Laumersheimer Kapellenberg.
The wines from Kapellenberg are more elegant and in particular the Riesling
profits from this soil, which gives is a special shape and finesse.
