The VDP.GROSSE LAGE® KIRCHENSTÜCK slopes slightly towards the south and south-east. The location is 150 meters above sea level. The predominant grape variety is Riesling. Its vines are mainly rooted in loess soils. The VDP.GROSSE LAGE® is only a small section of the single layer Kirchenstück and roughly includes the areas “Behind the Church”, “Am Griebelsteinchen” and “Am Täubertspfad”. History: The location was mentioned in a document in 1297 with the name "iuxta Kirchenstücke". It is a plot of land that was intended for the maintenance of a monastery kitchen, otherwise it is a general name for a church property. (Source: VDP.de)
