single vineyard in the municipality of Hattenheim (part of Eltville) in the German wine-growing region of Rheingau. The name goes back to the "Edelknecht Engilmann" of Hattenheim, who donated his vineyards to the famous Eberbach monastery in 1321, as documented. The south to south-west facing vineyards at 80 to 100 metres above sea level with a slope of 10 to 40% cover 18 hectares of vines. There are a few old natural stone walls to enclose the vineyards, which also store heat and release it to the vines at night.

The soils consist mainly of deep loess and loess loam with some marl. They have a good water retention capacity. The Riesling variety is mainly cultivated here. The wineries Bausch Hans, Georg Müller Stiftung, Hessische Staatsweingüter and Ress Balthasar, for example, have shares in the site.

In the past, you needed a wealth of encyclopaedias and specialist literature to keep up to date in your vinophile professional life. Today, Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one of my best helpers and can rightly be called the "bible of wine knowledge".
