Kieselberg means “gravel mountain” and this vineyard is on a plateau above Deidesheim. Full sun exposure leads to a high level of ripeness, but in 2018, it shows a more savory character than Langenmorgen, for example. The fruit shows the classic pit fruits here, ripe yellow peach and apricot, but the herbal, flinty character of the site is also apparent. The soils here are sandy loam with gravel and pebbles over sandstone.
