Mountainous, on the other hand, can be let pass. Partenheim is located on a loop of the Rheinhessen Pilgrimage Trail. The community took advantage of this to create a biblical…
The layer name probably owes its name to a solitary almond tree.
The Riesling deed dating back to Luther’s times Today there is no longer a monastery there, but researchers suspect that a provostry of the Benedictine monastery of Gorze was founded there as early as the 10th century. Saint George was thus also the patron saint of the single vineyard. Historically significant for viticulture in Germany: the first documented mention of Riesling from 1511 comes from Pfeddersheim.
