Ockenheimer St. Jakobsberg

Vineyard swing by the monastery

The name is based on the immediate vicinity of the Jakobsberg monastery. The almost 300-year-old "pilgrimage chapel to the Fourteen Helpers in Need" is located on top of the mountain. A monastery, an educational centre and a youth centre belong to the estate. The vines in the single vineyard thrive on sand and clay marl Pararendzina. The vineyard swing of Ockenheim offers a magnificent view over the valley of the river Rhein.
