The riverbank vineyards of Germany’s Mosel region are famous and have been for more than 100 years. Much like in Burgundy, rather than being owned by a single producer, many vineyards are often owned by several different producers, each with their own small plot. The most well-known vineyards can sometimes be divided up amongst as many as 200 different producers. The boundaries between plots are sometimes quite easy to distinguish, as farming practices vary from plot to plot, including row orientation and vine age, as well as specific farming techniques. This view of a Mosel vineyard (whose name and exact location escape me at the moment) texturally demonstrates such divisions.
