Product notes

About the Vineyard: Gottschelle is the only vineyard south of the Danube composed of massive loess layers. Each of these layers bears witness to a new ice age.

The site was first mentioned in 1341 under the name "Gotschalich," a term derived from the word "Götsche," referring to a steep escarpment.
