Niersteiner Ölberg (Oil mountain of Nierstein)

Biblical reference, oil mill or oily Rieslings?

Is the single vineyard named “Ölberg” because an oil mill once stood here? Or did the Ölberg get its name because of the oily consistency of the wines produced here? Does the site maybe have biblical references, named after a monastery? Anything is possible. The single vineyard is part of the "Roter Hang" but turns away from the river Rhein and faces south-southeast, situated above Nierstein. Partly very steep with a gradient of up to 60 percent. Like it is tpical for Roter Hang, the soil here is Rotliegendes, the iron oxide-containing, and landscape-defining red shining clay slate. The dominant grape variety is Riesling. In the middle of the vineyard: the Wartturm, a Nierstein landmark. Once a medieval signal tower from the 12th century.

Weingut Raddeck

We, Anna and Stefan Raddeck, love wine and we want to share this passion with you. Since 2003, we have been working in a controlled ecological manner to preserve the excellent quality of our wines for future generations. Reducing yields, long maceration times, and partial spontaneous fermentation make our wines authentic and complex. This is especially true for our Rieslings from the renowned sites Schloss Schwabsburg, Heiligenbaum, Pettenthal, and Orbel from the Red Slope.
Since 2009, the winery has been located in the middle of the Paterberg site. From here, we look out over the Rhine, the Red Slope, and Nierstein. Throughout the year, wine lovers from near and far come to us to enjoy this unique ambiance.
