This is still a very successful export wine today, although it…
The location is named after the monastery Maria Münster in Worms.
Owned by the Rhine counts The location was given this name because of the close historical connection between Wörrstadt and the Rheingrafen (English: Rhine counts). In the Middle Ages, they shared the claim to local jurisdiction with the Lords of Löwenstein; both maintained monastic bailiwicks and property there.
