The winery is located in the municipality of Nackenheim (Nierstein area) in the German wine-growing region of Rheinhessen. It was founded in 1890 by the Mainz banker Carl Gunderloch (1846-1935) through the purchase of the legendary Nackenheimer Rothenberg site and the historic "Haus am Roten Berg" estate. He is considered a pioneer of quality winegrowing on the Rhine and was a co-founder of today's VDP. Since 2015, the company has been run in the sixth family generation by son Johannes Hasselbach, the great-great-great-grandson of the founder. He is supported in his work by cellar master and operations manager Heiner Maleton. A renovation and building-ecologically sound extension of the estate were completed in 2017.
