Horrweiler Gewürzgärtchen (Spice garden of Horrweiler)

Spicy? Nowadays rather fruity and melting

What a lovely idea: the name is based on the former use of the vineyard as a spice garden. What might have blossomed and smelled there? Lavender? Mint? Chives? On deep, lime- and nutrient-rich soil with a high clay content, grape varieties of all kinds grow here today. The wines are dense and melting in the glass, fruity, with moderate acidity. The two vineyard swings Horrweiler and Welgesheim are located at the edges of the single vineyard site and invite you to relax.
