Zornheimer Guldenmorgen

Measure of area or unit of currency? Either way, there definitely is quality potential

The vineyard name contains the Middle High German adjective "Gülden, Golden". This is documented many times in the Grimms' German dictionary. Gulden originally referred to a gold coin, then became a unit of account, currency. However, in relation to this vineyard name it can also be read that "gülden, golden" is the root word for the area measurement of a 1/4 hectare. Where does this interpretation come from? Or was a quarter of a hectare of this site once weighed with a Gulden (German currency of the time)? Nobody knows. Obviously the vineyard was worth something, that is certain. Guldenmorgen as quality potential. Riesling, Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay or Huxelrebe grow here on sandy and loamy marl as well as deep, chalky clay soil. The vineyard cottage "Am Hohberg" is inconspicuous but idyllically situated.
