Which Riesling are you drinking?

My pleasure, Tess.

Speaking of Mosel Wine, I included a footnote on Zeltinger Sonnenuhr on page 13 (see note 17): The renowned Schlossberg (“castle hill”) vineyard in Koch’s time was the area around the ruins of the castle, or Burg (also the place-name of this location), within the present Einzellage Zeltinger Sonnenuhr.

The castle ruin is called Kunibertsburg, also named Rosenburg. The Gewann Burg is close to the sundial. The old site names, or place-names, around the castle ruin include Scherren (with the sundial), Im Mausgebände, and Hinter der Burg, all named sections that are mostly colored dark red on Clotten’s 1868 map.

Clotten’s map lists some of the top sites in today’s Zeltinger Sonnenuhr—Burg, Kirbel, Kackert, Rothlai, and Lehnschaft.
