Located at approximately 300 meters above sea level, the Riede Seeberg vineyard is oriented towards the south and southwest. The soil is characterized by silvery glistening mica schist interspersed with amphibolite, which extends to the surface.

These conditions create silty-sandy weathered soils, primarily calcareous-free brown earth, contributing to the unique terroir of the vineyard.
