Hebsack is a German wine village (or, more precisely, a district of the town of Geradstetten) located on the northern banks of the Rems river, in the region of Württemberg.
Trollinger is the most commonly planted variety here, with some Lemberger, Riesling, Silvaner and Kerner. The production of red wine significantly exceeds that of white, and most of the combined output is consumed locally.
Hebsack lies 12 miles (20 kilometers) east of the city of Stuttgart, in the valley carved out by the Rems. Vineyards in the area are situated on the lower, south-facing slopes of the low range of hills on the northern side of the valley. Orchids also flourish in the protective shadow of the forest.
Its one Grosse Lage vineyard, Lichtenberg, lies on a steep slope above Hebsack. This site enjoys extended sunlight hours and is sheltered from westerly winds. A natural spring is located in the vineyard, which provides sufficient water to the vines in hot summers. Lemberger is highly valued here, producing spicy, robust red wines.
