Niersteiner Pettenthal

The name Guntrum has stood for exceptional wines since 1648. Today Konstantin Guntrum and his wife Stephanie continue the tradition in the 11th generation and set new trends. In 1923 Louis Jean George Guntrum built the manor house in Nierstein. Located directly on the proud Rhine, it has since created a home and identity for family and wines. In the middle of Rheinhessen, Louis Guntrum produces authentic wines typical of the variety.

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.

The red hillside is a wine growing area with special optics between Nierstein and Nackenheim. The former formation emerged over 280 million years ago because of a collapse of the rhine ditch between the basin of Mainz and the upper rhine ditch. Another special feature is the red ground which was also determining for the name. The colouring happened because of embedded iron compounds which emerged under the subtropic climate of another era. The substance of the ground is consists of clay and sandstone and in combination with the climate today the red hillside gives its grapes an extraordinary taste. Moreover the red stone is the youngest deposit of the Rotliegend period in the Saar- Nahe basin which is still preserved until today. The area is divided into seven individual layers: Orbel, Heiligenbaum, Ölberg, Hipping, Brudersberg, Pettenthal and Rothenberg. Mainly Riesling with really good quality is grown here. Furthermore diverse events are taking place at the red hillside because of its special qualities.

Discover the fascinating St. Martin's Church and its historic church garden in the heart of Nierstein. St. Martin's Church and its church garden are completely enclosed by a medieval defensive wall. The gate and tower at the Fronhof form the most striking entrance to St. Martin's Church and its garden, inviting visitors to take a stroll through the church garden, rest on one of the benches, pause for a moment, and reflect.

The Romanesque choir tower from the 12th century is the oldest surviving part of the church. It has been altered several times, raised by a gabled storey in 1563 and supplemented by an idiosyncratic spire in 1896. The interior of the church was last renovated in 1973/74 and then again in 2010 after a smouldering fire.

In memory of those who fell in the First World War, the Protestant parish erected a memorial stone in the church garden after 1918. This was restored during the renovation of the church garden.
