Winery Wolf-Deiss

The Original shaded by Liebfrauenkirche

A single vineyard of only 17 hectares - planted with Riesling and surrounded by a wall - leans against the Liebfrauenkirche in Worms. The church is, of course, the eponym. The Worms "Liebfrauenstift-Kirchenstück" is considered one of the most traditional vineyards in the world. Pilgrims publicised the name as early as the 17th century. The vineyard is also the origin of the "Liebfrauenmilch" (derivation of mönch, minch, milch). This is still a very successful export wine today, although it may come from different wine-growing regions. The original single vineyard site, on the other hand, is located exclusively "so weit der Turm seinen Schatten werfe" (as far as the tower casts its shadow) (a quote from winegrowing pioneer P. Bronner in 1834). The site is one of the German "highlights of wine culture".

Rieslings at lofty heights and with chalky soil

With up to 280 metres above sea level, this site is one of the highest in Rheinhessen. It also faces east/northeast - a highly interesting site in the wake of climate change. On heavy clay marl "Pelosol" soils with fine limestone inlay, mainly Rieslings thrive here. Cool evening winds are ideal for the "grande dame" of grape varieties. Wines with a distinctive acidity and minerality, depth and elegance are produced. The name "Klopp" first appeared in documents in 1537. The name goes back to the Middle High German word "klupf", which means hilltop.

Riesling - Powerful and precise like a bird of prey

Buzzard, hawk or sparrowhawk: birds of prey lie in wait for their prey and strike with lightning speed. In the Middle Ages, they were known as "vultures" (from the Middle High German gīr). Presumably, the location in Dittelheim is called so because of the large number of these birds. The "Geiersberg" is located at the foothills of the Kloppberg. The vines stand on deep, calcareous clay marl - rich in calcium, potassium and magnesium. In the glass, the wines reflect powerful minerality. Especially Rieslings, but also Pinot Noirs present themselves complex, precise, concentrated and cool.
