Around 100 years ago, about 2/3 of the entire vineyard area in Rheinhessen was planted with Silvaner. Even still in the 1960s, about every second vine was a Silvaner.

In our neighboring village Heimersheim, the quota was even almost 100% about 100 years ago. This shows how well the Silvaner fits into our area and how important it was at that time.  The ratios have shifted a bit after that and the knowledge about the goodness of the variety has unfortunately moved a bit into the background.

We would like to start again here and show what one of the most typical grape varieties for Rheinhessen has to offer.
To do this, we are reviving Heimersheim's Silvaner tradition and want to make Heimersheim tastable:

Our Silvaner "H" embodies the limestone-dominated Heimersheim terroir and shows how great the Rheinhessen classic Silvaner can convey it.
