Today, the goal of the vineyard owned by the Dienstleistungszentrums Ländlicher Raum (or Service Center of the Rural Area) of Rheinhessen, Nahe, and Hunsrück is that of a teaching and operating center that facilitates the viticulture and viniculture school within Oppenheim. |
Our farmed locations are comprised of 23 ha of the best wine areas along the Rhine river from the town of Dienheim, over Oppenheim and Nierstein, and through the town of Bodenheim. Our specialties are dry Riesling and Silvaner wine, that are from distinctive and world-renowned areas along the Rhine river. Next to our Riesling and Silvaner wines, our Pinot Noir (Spätburgunder) is full of character and aged in wooden barrels to ideal maturity.
A ‘Highpoint of the German Wine Culture’ is our singly owned ‘Glöck’ area within Nierstein. The ‘Glöck’ is the oldest documented (approx. 742 A.D.) mentioned vineyard area of Germany. It is also classified as a Great Growth Area (Großes Gewächs-Lage).
