Winery Seyberth Old smithy

A former blacksmith's workshop with vineyard ownership in self-consumption was the basis for today's winery "Alte Schmiede". Step by step, the vineyard was expanded after Second World War. Since 1998, the winery has been led by Andreas and his wife Alexandra Seyberth. On 5.8 hectares of vineyards traditional grape varieties, as well as international varieties can be found. For example Silvaner, the personal favourite of Andreas Seyberth. The vineyards are managed organically. A quality-oriented vineyard management, yield-reducing measures, gentle grape processing and gentle and reductive wine aging are a matter of course. Pure enjoyment is promised by the wines and the wine tavern "Kleines Rheinhessen". In the country-style furnished guest room as well as lovingly prepared inner court, guests and visitors find the ideal spot to enjoy hearty meals and a good glass of wine in a cozy atmosphere.

Siefersheimer Goldenes Horn

Siefersheimer Goldenes Horn

Blooming heath on the winemaker’s alp

Like a horn, a pointed mountain, this single vineyard stands out in the landscape, hence the name. The addition "Gold" stands - as always when it comes to vineyard names - for the high esteem in which it is held. Here you will find a varied terroir, sloping and flat sites, loess or volcanic rock (Rigosol) as well as different wind and sun orientations for the most diverse grape varieties. From Riesling and Silvaner to Pinot Noir or Portugieser. On the hilltop, the pink blooming heath beckons in late summer. The best way to get there is via the "Hiwweltour Heideblick". At the Winzer-Alm, wine is served when the flag is flying. The magnificent panoramic view was voted "Rheinhessen's most beautiful wine view" in 2016.

Siefersheimer Heerkretz

Siefersheimer Heerkretz

Scratchy winegrowers, running armies, wonderful wines 

There are soils that are easy to work, for example loess. And then there are soils that challenge the winegrower. In this very high single vineyard, the soil has to be literally scratched, hence the name "Kretz". Responsible for this: the hard and rugged rhyolite rock or porphyry (a light-coloured, magmatic rock of the Rotliegende) with scree slopes and quarries. This particular soil is very rare in Rheinhessen (one percent). Very famous top Rieslings and Pinot Noirs thrive here. The "Alte Heerstraße" (Old Army Road) runs along the foot of the mountain, hence the double name "Heerkretz". Hikers travel along the "Küstenweg Rheinhessen" (Rheinhessen Coastal Trail) into the earth-historical past of Rheinhessen and pass numerous highlights, for example the Ajax Tower, and rest at the Lavendeleck.
