The winery is located in the municipality of Enkirch in the German wine-growing region of Mosel. It is one of the oldest wine estates in Germany. The central part of the winery complex, which is still preserved today, was first mentioned in 908 in a document of the Carolingian King Louis IV (893-911), in which a transfer of the estate to the church was confirmed. The base of the building dates back to the second half of the 9th century. The supporting basalt column in the deep cellar is of Roman origin. In the 12th century, the estate was granted as a fief to the Princes of Esch. The Immich family, which is one of the oldest winegrowing families on the Moselle with a history dating from 1425 to 1989, was particularly influential in its development.
The Wine lexicon helps me to keep up to date and refresh my knowledge. Thank you for this Lexicon that will never end in terms of topicality! That's what makes it so exciting to come back often.
