Award-winning wines in harmony with nature - this goal has long been reached:
In 2008, the winery celebrated 25 years of organic viticulture and has been awarded in recent years at many national and international competitions for the special quality of wine.
The winery is a member of ECOVIN and Bioland. The winery in the historic estate next to the walls of the imperial palace of Charlemagne has been run by Birgit and Arndt Werner since 1988. 10 hectares of vineyards on the slopes to the Rhine and Selztal are planted with 55% red wine and 45% white wine grapes. Calcareous sands and sandy loess soil offer perfect conditions, not only for Pinot varities. Riesling, Silvaner and Blauer Portugieser are also being developed into show-off wines in the winery. In the competition of the best organic wines in Germany, the winery continuously occupied the 1st place from 2005 to 2011.

Gau-Algesheimer Goldberg

Gau-Algesheimer Goldberg (Golden hill of Gau Algesheim)

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 (Rheinhessen AUSGEZEICHNET).

Ingelheimer Sonnenhang

Ingelheimer Sonnenhang

Sun, Selz and super wines 

Not to be confused with the 1-hectare single vineyard "Ingelheimer Sonnenberg" in the middle of the city. The Sonnenhang is 88 hectares in size and is located in the extension of Ingelheim-Süd and on the Selz River. Sonnenhang and Sonnenberg are quasi-synonyms. This name comes from the generally favorable position towards the sun. Here, the Mainzer Berg slopes west-southwest toward the Selz Valley and allows optimal sun exposure. On limestone, loess and loam grow a variety of vines of rather strong style: Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir or Chardonnay. In the soil there are fossilized corals and snails.

Gau-Algesheimer Johannisberg

Gau-Algesheimer Johannisberg

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 here. Fruit trees enrich the single vineyard site.

Gau-Algesheimer Steinert

Gau-Algesheimer Steinert

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 Tour.

Ingelheimer Höllenweg

Ingelheimer Höllenweg (Hell's Path of Ingelheim)

Hello Pinot!

The vineyard was first mentioned in a document in 1355 with the name "ame heldewege". So, where does the word “hell” come from? The name "hell" is derived from the Middle High German word for "Halde(a)" and means slope, therefore it has nothing to do with purgatory. In west-central Germany, this field name is very widespread. The small single vineyard, only eleven hectares in size, is predestined above all for mineral Pinots, with an almost salty finish.

Ingelheimer Horn

Ingelheimer Horn

Where mountains stand out and Pinots feel at home

The vineyard was first mentioned in a document in 1570 with the name "am Horn". The term "Horn" is a common designation for protruding mountains. Like the horns of a billy goat or roebuck. Following the tradition of the red wine town, the single vineyard Ingelheimer Horn is home to complex and elegant Pinot Noirs and other Pinot varieties. At the foot of the Mainzer Berg, above Ober-Ingelheim. Loess, stony and sandy loam soil as well as numerous limestones are characteristic for the vineyard, which extends up to 250 metres above sea level.

Ingelheimer Pares

Ingelheimer Pares

Pares from Paradies? Origin of name unclear, wines paradisiacal.

Where does the name come from? One can only speculate! Three variants are conceivable. Number one: The name of the site is derived from the Middle High German word "Parich" for "horse". In former times, there was an old cattle drift on this site, an agricultural path for driving cattle. Number two: In Latin there are the words "pār" for equal, on a par with and "pārēre" for to show oneself, to direct oneself towards something. Number three: The medieval term "paradeis" was shortened to "pares". The winegrowers particularly like this variation. The paradisiacal location! But wherever the vineyard name actually comes from, its lime and loess are ideal conditions for red wines, such as Pinot Noir and Pinot Madeleine. The single vineyard belongs to the Mainzer Berg, above Ober-Ingelheim.
