- Hatzenport
Guided walk: From Devon to terroir - how soil, climate and winemakers work together to create diversity.
How did the terraced Moselle with its steep slopes come into being? What factors are responsible for the great biodiversity that we find on the Moselle today? And what great contribution does the winegrower make to nature conservation with his work? I would like to answer these and many more questions on a hike through Hatzenport's vineyards. Discover the Moselle not only as an impressive landscape, but also experience the special features of this region in miniature. Especially the dry stone wall, the flagship and namesake of the terraced Moselle, combines all factors that are responsible for the great diversity of animal and plant species. It is a biotope that must be preserved and is an example of the importance of viticulture for nature. I can justifiably claim that I am the only person who knows all the locations in Hatzenport where Potentilla rhenana, the Rhenish hill cinquefoil, grows. Probably you have not heard of this species, but that is neither reprehensible nor surprising. However, I would like to tell you what makes this cinquefoil special and why it is an example of active nature conservation in miniature. Of course a Hatzenporter Schoppen may not be missing in between. A good bottle of wine from the Brunnenhof, the winery from which I come, I will have in any case for tasting. I look forward to seeing you.
