The "Deutzerhof Cossmann-Hehle" winery is located in the municipality of Mayschoß in the German wine-growing region of Ahr. The origins of the traditional farm date back to the 16th century, as Caspar Cossmann and his wife Catharina were mentioned as winegrowers as early as 1574. In 1952, Alfred Cossmann decided to market his wines himself, which were then produced on 2.5 hectares. In 1977, his daughter Hella married the tax expert Wolfgang Hehle, who, as a career changer, took a liking to the work of the winegrower and continuously developed the winery. In 1980, a new winery - Der Deutzerhof - was built on the Deutzerwiese, as the main house no longer offered enough space for processing the grapes and ageing the wines. Wolfgang Hehle changed not only the name, but primarily the style of the winery. In the vineyard, the work was more nature-friendly and the number of grapes on the vine was limited. In the cellar, Wolfgang Hehle relied on controlled, gentle spontaneous fermentation and a combination of large and small wooden barrels.

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.
