Sasbacher Limburg

The elongated ridge of the Limberg above Sasbach, with its unique panorama, was already inhabited in the Stone Age. Later, the Celts established a settlement here, and the Romans followed suit.

In the Middle Ages, Limburg Castle towered high above the Rhine, and a few remnants of it still remain. This premier vineyard takes its name from the castle.

The Limberg occupies a special position within the Kaiserstuhl. Its formation can be traced back to a series of eruptions that occurred independently of the other volcanic activity in the area. It therefore consists of a very unique rock, which also bears its name geologically – Limburgite. The soil that develops on this basis gives the wines more body and smoothness, and they are generally accessible somewhat earlier than the wines from the Burkheimer Feuerberg.
