Ockfen [AWK-fuhn]
A highly regarded wine-producing village located south of Konz along the Saar River in Germany’s Mosel-Saar-Ruwer region. The village owes its reputation to the extremely steep hillside vineyards, which include the well-known Einzellage Bockstein. In good growing years, Ockfen’s steely, yet elegant and intensely fragrant Riesling wines can rival any produced in Germany.
