    Additional Info

    Nestled in the valley of Bürgstadt on the sharp southwest bend of the Main River, the Berg benefits from a mild, warm microclimate protected by the low mountain ranges of Odenwald and Spessart. The Bürgstadter Berg vineyard includes two “Grand Cru” sites, Centgrafenberg and Hundsrück.
