Winery Burghof Oswald

The traditional winery is located in the middle of Guntersblum. At present, three generations live in the old Frankish courtyards with their striking tower. Head of winery Fred Oswald cultivates 20 hectares of vineyards. The vineyards on the Rheinterrasse are mainly planted with classic grape varieties: Silvaner, Riesling, Müller-Thurgau and Pinot are the main varieties. To excite the natural aroma potential of the grapes, he takes the winery the risk of late harvest and reduces the yield. The vinification and the aging of the wines takes place both traditionally in large oak barrels with the red wine, as well as in most modern cellar technology in stainless steel with the white wine.

Guntersblumer Himmelthal

Guntersblumer Himmelthal (Heaven’s valley of Guntersblum)

High, higher, heavenly in Guntersblum

The term Himmel - also common in naming - indicates good cultivated land or high altitude sites. The Guntersblum single vineyard Himmelthal actually is located bit higher, closer to the sun and thus perfect for grapes of higher ripeness. A wide variety of grape varieties thrive on fertile loess soil, such as Pinot Gris or red varieties like Pinot Madeleine, Piot Meunier and Dornfelder. The Protestant parish church there also is heavenly. Not one, but two towers rise up to the sky. This church is one of the rare so called “Heidentürme” (engl. pagan towers), built around 1102 after the 1st Crusade to the Holy Land.
