Hendelberg

single vineyard in the municipality of Hallgarten in the German wine-growing region of Rheingau. The name is probably derived from "Hindelberg" and does not refer to a chicken, but to a hind (Hinde = hind). It was first mentioned in a document in 1418. At that time, the Archbishop of Mainz, Johann II von Nassau, authorised the people of Hallgarten to clear the area and plant vines in exchange for interest wine. The south to south-east facing vineyards at 180 to 250 metres above sea level with slopes of 5 to 18% cover 23 hectares of vines on deep, stony-gritty slate soils. Alluvial soils predominate in the lower area, while plots in the upper area are considered the best. The Riesling variety is mainly cultivated here. The Barth, Bibo & Runge, Fürst Löwenstein, Kühn Peter Jakob and Prinz Fred wineries, for example, have shares in the site.
