The south-facing steep slope encompasses almost 10 hectares of vineyards with a slope of up to 60%. Only 10% of this area is sloping, the rest is steep.

In the white varieties, Riesling , Kerner , Müller-Thurgau and Optima (11%) predominate . The Portuguese and Riesling grapes, which were still popular in the early 1970s (their share at that time was 45%), lost a lot of their importance.
