The property is distributed over two steep to very steep vineyards that are located on the opposite side of the Mosel River from the village of Longuich. On the south-southwest facing Maximiner Herrenberg vineyard, pure Riesling vines grow on hills that are over 60 degrees steep. The terrain consists of a very deep turf of fine soil, which irrigates the vineyard, and Devonian slate, which prevents erosion. This soil produces a Riesling that has great volume; it is full of character with a soft bouquet and fine fruit. Above the Maximiner Herrenberg, in the middle of the mountain slope, is the Longuicher Herrenberg vineyard. There the soil is deep and partly filled with Devonian slate, making it possible, especially in dry years, to harvest grapes full of extract.
