Sun-blessed white and red wines from Aspisheim
“Sonnenberg” is a popular German vineyard name. As always in Rheinhessen, this name comes from the southern exposure of the vineyards. The Romans already settled in Aspisheim, as evidenced by the Roman road from Alzey to Bingen, which led through what is now Aspisheim. Vines for full-bodied white and red wines thrive on sand and clay marl Pararendzina and loess.
