Winery Krughof

We live with the wine - and we have since our early childhood. Founded in 1927, the family tradition and passion for wine & wine has been growing for more than four generations. The third generation, Hans-Walter & Gundi Flick, are currently working hand in hand with the fourth generation, Marie-Sophie Flick. Every day we sit together, try, discuss and talk shop about our wines. It is always about preserving our long family tradition and daring innovation.

In the heart of Rheinhessen you can find the small wine village Bornheim, our winery Krughof and our vineyards - and this is exactly where our quality standards begin. Out of responsibility towards us and nature and our wines, we always pay attention to careful vineyard and viticulture. Also in the cellar, gentle vinification has the highest priority: under constant observation, our wines are fermented cold, so that their fruit flavors and mineral notes are preserved.

We enjoy the diversity offered by Rheinhessen and present a wide range of different wines from a total of 20 different grape varieties to our customers. Here, the Spectrum ranges from the traditional grape varieties such as Riesling & Silvaner, Pinot varieties like Pinot Gris & Chardonnay, to aromatic exotics such as Gelber Muskateller & Sauvignon Blanc. Grape varieties like Pinot Noir, Merlot, Pinot Meunier, Dornfelder and Cabernet Sauvignon complete our rich program for red, rosé and blanc de noir.

English speaking visitors are welcome.

Flonheimer Binger Berg

Flonheimer Binger Berg

Of mountains, seas and grape varieties

There are more than 30 kilometres between the village of Flonheim - in the middle of Rheinhessen - and the town of Bingen directly by the river Rhein. There are two possible interpretations of where the name comes from: The name could refer to the ownership of the Bingen Spital in the 14th century. Or a geological explanation: the Binger Berg - as we call it today - was formed over 30 million years ago. At that time, large parts of Rheinhessen were flooded by the primeval sea and one of the surf reefs ran along the northern side of today's Flonheim. A wide variety of grape varieties grow here in the clay marl with up to 40%  lime content.

Bornheimer Hähnchen

Bornheimer Hähnchen

Bornheimer chicken 
Feathered fowl? No, living hedge! 

Juicy corn-fed chicken with Pinot Gris or rather Mediterranean-spiced, grilled chicken drumsticks with Pinot Noir? The Burgundy varieties like to grow on loess and volcanic rock in the single vineyard "Bornheimer Hähnchen". But no, the proud fowl is not the eponym here. The Old High German "hagan" denoted a demarcated area of land. And where is the wall then? This demarcation did not have to consist of stones, but could also be enclosed with a living hedge. The Bornheimer Kuckucksturm, a Hiwwelrast, is located in the middle of the single site.
