The winery is located in the municipality of Bechtheim (area Wonnegau) in the German wine region Rheinhessen. It is run by Jochen Dreissigacker. The goal of the operation is to transport the Bodentyp and locations as naturally and gently as possible into the bottle. Visitors can complete the "Dreissigacker Academy" and become wine connoisseurs from wine lovers. The entire wine knowledge is imparted and philosophy and values are disclosed.
The vineyards cover 45 hectares of vine area in the individual locations Geyersberg, Hasensprung, and Rosengarten (Bechtheim), as well as Aulerde, Kirchspiel, and Morstein (Westhofen). They are planted with the varieties Riesling (65%), Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, and Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. In the management, great patience and care are taken to consider the characteristics and peculiarities of Bodentyp, locations, and plants, which are to be transported into powerful, fine mineralisch and elegant wines. This has been done for a long time according to Zertifizierung rules of Biologischer Weinbau, as well as since 2020 of Biodynamischer Weinbau.
The glossary is a monumental achievement and one of the most important contributions to wine knowledge. Of all the encyclopaedias I use on the subject of wine, it is by far the most important. That was the case ten years ago and it hasn't changed since.
