Pares from Paradies? Origin of name unclear, wines paradisiacal.

Where does the name come from? One can only speculate! Three variants are conceivable. Number one: The name of the site is derived from the Middle High German word "Parich" for "horse". In former times, there was an old cattle drift on this site, an agricultural path for driving cattle. Number two: In Latin there are the words "pār" for equal, on a par with and "pārēre" for to show oneself, to direct oneself towards something. Number three: The medieval term "paradeis" was shortened to "pares". The winegrowers particularly like this variation. The paradisiacal location! But wherever the vineyard name actually comes from, its lime and loess are ideal conditions for red wines, such as Pinot Noir and Pinot Madeleine. The single vineyard belongs to the Mainzer Berg, above Ober-Ingelheim.

Red crosses and magnificent Portugiesers

German Red Cross? No. The DRK does indeed maintain a local association in Ingelheim, but it has nothing to do with this single vineyard. The location was first mentioned in a document in 1383 with the name "an dem Crutze". A red field cross gave this vineyard its name. It was considered a resting place for the population at that time. The single vineyard between Ingelheim and Heidesheim presents itself idyllic and wild, with many hedges and fruit trees. Award-winning Portugiesers, among others, thrive on drift sand and limestone.

Hello Pinot!

The vineyard was first mentioned in a document in 1355 with the name "ame heldewege". So, where does the word “hell” come from? The name "hell" is derived from the Middle High German word for "Halde(a)" and means slope, therefore it has nothing to do with purgatory. In west-central Germany, this field name is very widespread. The small single vineyard, only eleven hectares in size, is predestined above all for mineral Pinots, with an almost salty finish.
