The soils in the region of Van Volxem estate exhibit a unique diversity. The vineyards are spread across slate rock, which imparts the characteristic minerality to the Riesling grapes. These soils not only provide optimal conditions for the cultivation of Riesling but also significantly contribute to the wines' expressiveness and terroir expression. The combination of slate soils and the picturesque Saar landscape creates an ideal environment for producing wines of the highest quality and unique character.
