Monzernheimer Goldberg

The cool gold on the mountain 

"We think this location is fantastic! What name are we going to give it?" It must have gone like this or something similar. The golden mountains - Rheinhessen has numerous ones - stand by name for the general esteem in which they are held. Gold is not mined here. However, magnificent wines thrive on sand and clay marl as well as limestone, rare terra fusca, in the Monzernheimer Goldberg. Monzernheim vineyards are situated higher than others in Rheinhessen. In addition, the Goldberg is placed on a northeast slope. Good for maintaining the freshness and acidity of the wines. The rural youth, very active in the village, has set up two photo frames in the vineyards. Snapshot for golden boys and girls: Smile please!
