A

50°

32
Q

Describe the climate and growing conditions of the Mosel

A

Cold, continental (average temp 10°C)

Temperature moderated by:

  • river - prevents spring frost, allows autumn fog > botrytis
  • orientation (best sites south or south-west facing)
  • aspect (high gradient)
  • altitude (~110m asl)
  • exposure to wind (from Hunsrück and Eifel ranges, forests at top of the slope protect)

Best sites can extend growing time from 100 days to 140/150 due to aspect

33
Q

What are the benefits of Mosel slate soil?

A
  • free draining - regular rainfall through the season
  • collects heat, especially dark blue coloured slate
  • prevents erosion of slope
  • limits the effect of phylloxera - present, but less harmful; most vines on rootstock anyway
  • nitrogen deficiency and low pH lead to sulphur-derived ‘minerality’
34

Hint - this bereich is also known as the Terrassenmosel

A

Burg Cochem bereich

Up to 70%

35
Q

A

Land reform or land consolidation that was at its peak in teh Mosel after WW2 and was set into law in 1971.

The Flurbereinigung campaign leveled and widened hillsides to permit machines, reorganised vineyards, old vines pulled up, flat land stripped of fruit trees and planted to grapes.
