Winery Fritz Ekkehard Huff

The winery Fritz Ekkehard Huff is a family business and is now run in the third generation by Fritz Ekkehard Huff. Daughter Christine is responsible for the vinification. The estate in Rheinhessen is known for products of the highest quality, which are characterized above all by the joy of experimentation and the associated urge to innovate.

Creativity meets passion
The outstanding level of wines from the winery Fritz Ekkehard Huff has since spread far beyond the borders of Rheinhessen, as the winery convinces with a rich and at the same time expressive portfolio. Especially the Riesling-Experiment "Rabenturm" stands out - a wine that does not only inspire critics with its high fruitiness and minerality. The determination of the young winemaker Christine Huff is also clear at the swinging castle Schwabsburg Riesling. Especially its fresh citrus and peach flavours give this wine its characteristic structure. The ultimate goal is to always to produce original wines which are as natural as possible. For this reason, the winery Fritz Ekkehard Huff also renounces the use of herbicides and mineral fertilizers. The respect for nature in connection with an extraordinary dedication to the cultivation of wine lets new wines emerge year after year, with each revealing their very own handwriting.

On the estate English, French and German is spoken.

Niersteiner Orbel

Niersteiner Orbel

Not a swear word, but full-bodied praise

The single vineyard is located at the southern end of "Roter Hang" in a side valley towards Schwabsburg. The name Orbel was mentioned in the community chronicles as early as 1386. "Ölbel" is a dialect word borrowed from the dialect of the locals. An "Ölbel" is a broad, strong, four-bearded man who appears uncouth. A swear word! In relation to the wine, however, it is not a negative association: the wines here are full-bodied, juicy and rich. Riesling or Silvaner grow on loess and red-lying soil that is fissured like slate gravel. Not far from the site: the Schwabsburg castle tower.

Niersteiner Schloß Schwabsburg

Niersteiner Schloss Schwabsburg (Schwabsburg Castle in Nierstein)

Old castle walls and Riesling

Where once was a castle, today only the castle tower is left. It is not known who built the castle. Historians estimate that it was built between 1125 and 1245 during the Staufer period. Hikers can picnic on the lawn in front of the ruins. The single vineyard is named after the former castle. A variety of grape varieties grow on loess and red sandstone, mainly Riesling. The wines are dense with intense aromas.

Niersteiner Pettenthal

Niersteiner Pettenthal

Boy's name? Toad migration? Rieslings of world fame!

A vineyard of world fame! As the name "Thal" (old German word for valley) suggests, this single vineyard site begins in the valley, directly by the river Rhein, and then climbs steeply up the "Roter Hang". This single vineyard site is the steepest section on "Roter Hang" - very valuable and extremely sought after by winegrowers. The cadastral name has existed since 1753. Where does the name come from? There are several interpretations. The most common variant would be the boy or family name Peter. It could also be derived from Pater, meaning monk. The vineyards were owned by the church for a long time. Or - as they say in Nierstein: "Petten" refers to toads that migrate to the springs and sump holes that emerge above. An indication of this is that an adjacent area is called "Stumpe Loch", which is probably derived from Sumpfloch. Whether ordinary boy's name or ordinary toad: the Rieslings, on the other hand, are not ordinary at all. They are mineral, expressive and capable of ageing. They grow on bare red clay sandstone and get plenty of sun all day long.
