single vineyard in the municipality of Hallgarten in the German wine-growing region of Rheingau. The monks of the Roman Catholic Cistercian order of the famous Eberbach monastery most probably named the vineyard in honour of the Virgin Mary. The south-east to south-west facing vineyards at 170 to 210 metres above sea level with a slope of 5 to 15% cover almost 70 hectares of vines. The large area was created in the course of land consolidation in 1971 by merging several small vineyards. The best area is the former Original Jungfer, which lies in a conical depression and is therefore very well protected from the wind.
