Hunsruck Hills to the south east and Eifel Mountains south west

On the steepest slopes attached to a sturdy post as to not require wires on the hillside.
These are normally run with vertical cordon or the two canes (forming a heart) however this requires a thinning of the leaves to reduce the chance of rot. The sparce canopy leaves the grapes exposed to sun, resulting in TDN flavors such as petrol
