Winery Steitz

On 15 hectares, Christian Steitz cultivates mainly classic grape varieties in western Rheinhessen. Riesling and Silvaner are his declared favorites, Pinots round off the portfolio optimally. Every year he wants to get his personal interpretation of landscape, climate and grape variety in the glass. This high standard, coupled with a lot of passion - that is the base for Rheinhessen's top wine.
The soils in Rheinhessische Schweiz offer an exciting potential for great wines. Volcanic origin and more than 250 million years old, they produce mineral wines with unique character and high aging potential.

English and French speaking visitors are welcome.

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.
