Production 
The 26 hectare Sonnenberg in Bad Neuenahr belongs to the lower region of the Ahr, in which the otherwise narrow valley widens and the slopes become somewhat flatter. Due to its southern orientation and favourable slope, the Sonnenberg, located at 100-150 m above sea level, is one of the preferred locations that benefit from high solar radiation and a favourable microclimate. The soil is a skeleton-rich conglomerate of greywacke to greywacke slate, mixed with clay, through hanging loam, loess and loess loam. In 2001 this approx. 20 year old vineyard in the Neuenahrer Sonnenberg was bought and full responsibility was transferred directly to the next generation - Alexander Stodden. His goal is to harvest ripe and healthy grapes, i.e. to produce maximum quality. This begins with the pruning, where only one fruit cane is left. In August, the “green harvest” was carried out, except for one grape per shoot, everything was cut off. At the time of harvest, in mid-October, the grapes were perfectly healthy with ripe tannins. In the 18 months of storage in barriques, the wine had enough time to clear itself and was bottled unfiltered.
