This traditional winery is located in the municipality of Gundheim (Wonnegau area) in the German wine-growing region of Rheinhessen. It is run by Michael and Christine Gutzler. The vineyards cover 16 hectares of vines in the single vineyard sites Brunnenhäuschen and Morstein (Westhofen), Römerberg (Dorn-Dürkheim), Sonnenberg (Gundheim), Höllenbrand (Gundersheim), as well as the famous Liebfrauenstift church site in Worms (see also under Liebfrauenmilch). They are planted with the red wine varieties Pinot Noir, Blauer Portugieser and Dornfelder, as well as the white wine varieties Riesling, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Silvaner and Sauvignon Bl anc. Dense planting results in deeper rooting and thus increased absorption of mineral nutrients. Further quality-enhancing measures include intensive vine care and a strong reduction in yields. Certified organic viticulture has been practised since the 2017 vintage.

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.
