Assmannshausen

The wine-growing community in Hesse is a district of Rüdesheim am Rhein and belongs to the German wine-growing region Rheingau. It is bordered by the Rhine in the west and is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Upper Middle Rhine Valley". More than 90% of the vineyards are planted with Pinot Noir, the rest with other red wine varieties and some Riesling. For this reason, "Assmannshäuser" was also a common synonym for Pinot Noir in the past. This makes Assmannhausen probably the best-known red wine community in Germany in this region otherwise dominated by Riesling. The three individual vineyards Frankenthal, Hinterkirch and Höllenberg are combined in the Großlage Steil and cover a total of 70 hectares of vineyards on heat-retaining phyllite slate. The water-permeable soil and the microclimate are almost ideally suited for Pinot Noir. In addition to red wines, many white Pinot Noirs are traditionally pressed here. Well-known producers are Hessische Staatsweingüter (Domäne Assmannshausen), Kesseler, König Robert and Krone.

The Wine lexicon helps me to keep up to date and refresh my knowledge. Thank you for this Lexicon that will never end in terms of topicality! That's what makes it so exciting to come back often.
