The sheltered, steep south-facing slope and its diverse, limestone-dominated soil structure are what make the VDP.Große Lage Im Großen Garten vineyard so special. It is a prime location within the VDP.Erste Lage Großkarlbacher Burgweg vineyard, situated in a still intact glacial valley where the Eckbach stream has carried various sediments, such as pebbles, sand, and loess, over the limestone bedrock for millennia – resulting in soils that alternate between soft and harder limestone, solid limestone bedrock, and the various sediments.
