Winery Münzenberger

On the sunny plateau of Rheinhessen, in Zornheim, the estate of Andreas Münzenberger can be found. The technician for viticulture and oenology produces high quality and expressive, elegant and terroir-stressed wines. The work in the vineyards is close to nature and environmentally friendly. "Nature and man have the potential to bring out the best from every vintage together, from the climatic peculiarities, from the respective grape variety and from the soil." With this guiding principle, the winemaker accompanies all phases of wine production. The passion for wine is reflected in the extensive assortment of grape varieties - from classic to international wines, he has a wine for every taste. However, the focus is on Riesling and dry wines of the Pinot family. Andreas Münzenberger and Marina Becker want to continue on their path - with experience and innovation.

Zornheimer Guldenmorgen

Zornheimer Guldenmorgen

Measure of area or unit of currency? Either way, there definitely is quality potential

The vineyard name contains the Middle High German adjective "Gülden, Golden". This is documented many times in the Grimms' German dictionary. Gulden originally referred to a gold coin, then became a unit of account, currency. However, in relation to this vineyard name it can also be read that "gülden, golden" is the root word for the area measurement of a 1/4 hectare. Where does this interpretation come from? Or was a quarter of a hectare of this site once weighed with a Gulden (German currency of the time)? Nobody knows. Obviously the vineyard was worth something, that is certain. Guldenmorgen as quality potential. Riesling, Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay or Huxelrebe grow here on sandy and loamy marl as well as deep, chalky clay soil. The vineyard cottage "Am Hohberg" is inconspicuous but idyllically situated.

Hahnheimer Knopf

Hahnheimer Knopf (Button of Hahnheim)

Round hill, top Rieslings

"What a cute button you are!" The cute name of the site is based on the round shape of the hill, like a button on a piece of clothing. Tower snails feel at home in this region. This hill lies in the direction of Wahlheimer Hof, northwest of the village. Top Rieslings with storage potential thrive on lime and clay marl. The "Amiche" cycle tour passes Hahnheim, a former small railway line. Also ideal for families who want to simply glide along by bike.

Zornheimer Vogelsang

Zornheimer Vogelsang

Made arable by man or sung by birds

Two possible interpretations are circulating: Either the site got its name from an old slash-and-burn area - by singeing, lightly burning a surface for cultivation (German: sengen). Or it actually refers to the numerous birds that nest there. In this sunny vineyard, vines grow on very chalky, stony and sandy loam soil. The Pinot Noir from the limestone is particularly prized. And while tasting the wines from the "Zornheimer Vogelsang" you are welcome to sing and whistle.

Selzener Osterberg

Selzener Osterberg

The cardinal point gives the name

“Ostern”? (engl. Easter) The resurrection of Christ? No. In Middle High German, "Oster" means "situated in the east". In fact, however, the single vineyard site is located to the north of the municipality of Selzen. The site was first mentioned in documents in the 12th century with the name "im Osterberg" and in 1436 with the name "in dem Osterberg". On heavy Letten soils, loam marl, the vines have to root deeply to be able to absorb minerals and water. Riesling feels at home here.
