CASTELL | SCHLOSSBERG
This 4.5ha/11.12 acre monopole belonging
to the Fürstlich Castell’sches Domänenamt
rises from 300-390m/984-1279ft. The
heat-retaining soils of grey-blue clay and
gypsum keuper (a heavy marl) help to
create a mild mesoclimate. There also are
veins of alabaster. The Schlossberg has
inclines from 40-60%.

ESCHERNDORF | LUMP
The name of this steep, sickle-shaped site,
clinging snugly to a bend of the river Main,
is derived from the countless small parcels
that were created by the ongoing divisions
of inherited land. Despite its 37ha/91 acre
size, the Lump vineyard is fairly
homogenous, the soils are of Triassic
limestone, inclines of 60-70% are at
altitudes from 190-270m/623-885ft.
