Winery family Erbeldinger

"Three things are important to us: it is the cooperation of the generations in the winery, the care of the vineyards and the contact with our customers, for whom we produce excellent wines. Being a winemaker family is a vocation for us, "says Stefan Erbeldinger. The vines stand on fertile loess and clay soils, limestone weathering and marl layers. Despite a wide range of grape varieties, the focus is on Pinot Blanc and Riesling, which also has been documented by many awards over the years. Great attention is also paid to the Erbeldinger sparkling wines, which are presented in an attractive selection and received many awards. Each family member has their own area of responsibility from the vineyard to wine sales. Thus, each of the Erbeldingers makes its contribution to the wine connoisseurs who receive the Erbeldinger wines mostly directly from the winery.
Over the summer, Gundi Harringer's daily changing winery kitchen Erbeldinger'S completes the wine tasting at the winery during the day.

On the estae only German is spoken.

Gundersheimer Höllenbrand

Gundersheimer Höllenbrand (Hellfire of Gundersheim)

No devil to be seen! Red wines on the famous southern slope

A significant landmark of the area: The imposing "Höllenbrand" sign, visible from afar on the A61 from Worms towards Alzey. Since 2016, the Rheinhessen logo has also been displayed on the terraced slope, which is 100 percent south-facing. The site was first documented in 1437 with the name "in dem hilprant" and in 1710 with the name "im Höllenrand". Both, the personal name Hildebrand and the Middle High German word "halde, hel, hölle" (for slope) could be the origin of the name. And the word "Brand" could belong to the Middle High German word "rant" and mean "mountain edge". So the hell fire has nothing at all to do with the devil. But the southern slope is as hot as hell: that's why winegrowers plant vines here for full-bodied wines, often red wines. It's a good thing that the soil - loess loam and limestone - has natural springs.

Westhofener Aulerde

Westhofener Aulerde

Once clay for potters, today premium wines for connoisseurs

Once again the Middle High German: "Ule" means pot. The site was first mentioned in a document in 1382 with the name "an Ule erden". Why pot? Because potters found clay there. Today, the clay marl should stay where it is. And that is below the vines! Just as well as loess and limestone. Top Rieslings grow here: ripe aromas and fine exoticism on the nose; creamy and opulent on the palate. Due to the southern exposure, the grapes ripen early. Hikers enjoy the multitude of vineyard houses.
