Waldböckelheimer
Kirchberg
The “Kirchberg”, a local hill with its protestant church, is the emblem/landmark of the village Waldböckelheim. In spring 2012 the Emmerich-Koebernik family succeeded in buying a large piece of land in this area, planting Burgunder and the Riesling vines in 2013. This south facing vineyard produces mature and full-bodied wines with a harmonious acidity. As the soil is easily heated and the area is sheltered, the wines of this vineyard have a particularly long-lasting taste / are particularly good for ageing.
