As valuable as gold: mineral Rieslings No, you cannot mine for gold here. Unless you are a winegrower. Because the vines from this single vineyard produce great wines. The name does not actually refer to a precious metal, but to the general appreciation of the soil. Heavy, sandy loam soils mix with lime marl and calcareous clay. This gives the Riesling in particular an unmistakable minerality and tension. In October, the people of Gau-Algesheim invite you to the "Fest des Jungen Weines" (engl. Festival of young wine”) on the market square…
Cheers, neighbours! With plenty of wines Across the river Rhein from Gau-Algesheim lies the former Benedictine monastery of Johannisberg in Rheingau. The basilica is dedicated to "John the Baptist". The monks owned vineyards in what is now Gau-Algesheim and also named the single vineyard site after their patron saint. The soils of the single vineyard site are diverse: from very chalky marl soils to very fertile loess soils. Fine fruity white wines such as Riesling, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Kerner and fruity rosé wines grow…
The naming of this location indicates an old clearing area.
Oh holy Laurentius, give us filigree Rieslings This single vineyard is located directly below the St. Laurenzi Chapel between the villages of Appenheim, Dromersheim or Ockenheim. At the top of the hill is the small village of Laurenziberg and the nationally important pilgrimage church of St. Laurentius, named after a saint. The baroque church was built between 1707 and 1717, on the foundations of an Iro-Scottish chapel from the late 6th or early 7th century. The vines grow on a limestone base, overlaid with clay marl and clayey loess loam.…
Stony, sandy and warm - for red and late-ripening white wines To the left and right of the town: the single vineyard Steinert flanks Gau-Algesheim towards the northern foothills of Westerberg and Ockenheim. The site was first mentioned in a document in 1303 with the name "amme Steynwingarten" and refers to the quality of the soil. The limestone weathered soil with a high sand content warms up quickly. This is ideal for red wines and late-ripening white wine varieties. Hikers can easily discover the vineyard on the Bismarck Tower Hiking…
Army road, dry stone wall and Rieslings Just like Elsheim, Groß-Winternheim also has a single vineyard called Bockstein. This does not come as a surprise, as the two villages are only five kilometres apart, both by the Selz River and on the former army road. In the past, loads were carried on the back, jacked up (german: “aufgebockt”). Hence the name. Excellent Rieslings are produced here on loess, sand and clay marl. Lizards bask in the sun along the dry stone walls. The hiking trail Westerberg Hiwweltour leads directly along…
The layer designation is based on a freestanding shrine in the field.
