Winery Mett

In the heart of Ingelheim, the Mett family has been cultivating their winery since 1842, now in the fifth generation. In 2004, Jürgen Mett and his wife Silke Weidenbach also took over the vineyards of the in-laws, the renowned Weidenbach winery. More than 70 percent of the vineyard is planted with red varieties, mostly with Pinot Noir and Pinot Madeleine, the traditional varieties of red wine town. Jürgen Mett pursues a clear and open philosophy: he places value on honest wines, the origin and type of variety unadulterated and may well have corners and edges. Especially the reds are often full-bodied and tanned, with a hint of oak. The white wines convince with their freshness and fine fruitiness. Especially for the high-quality Pinots Jürgen Mett regularly receives great praise from the trade press. All wines can be tasted and bought in the Vinothek with cross vault in an appealing atmosphere.

Ingelheimer Rotes Kreuz

Ingelheimer Rotes Kreuz (Red Cross of 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.

Ingelheimer Pares

Ingelheimer Pares

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.

Ingelheimer Höllenweg

Ingelheimer Höllenweg (Hell's Path of Ingelheim)

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.

Ingelheimer Sonnenhang

Ingelheimer Sonnenhang

Sun, Selz and super wines 

Not to be confused with the 1-hectare single vineyard "Ingelheimer Sonnenberg" in the middle of the city. The Sonnenhang is 88 hectares in size and is located in the extension of Ingelheim-Süd and on the Selz River. Sonnenhang and Sonnenberg are quasi-synonyms. This name comes from the generally favorable position towards the sun. Here, the Mainzer Berg slopes west-southwest toward the Selz Valley and allows optimal sun exposure. On limestone, loess and loam grow a variety of vines of rather strong style: Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir or Chardonnay. In the soil there are fossilized corals and snails.
