Marcobrunn

single vineyard in the municipality of Erbach in the German wine-growing region of Rheingau. The name dates back to the 13th century and is reminiscent of the "Markenburne" fountain between Erbach and Hattenheim. In 1810, a curious border dispute arose between the two municipalities, which is still visible today. Erbach had the following inscription carved in stone on its side of the fountain: Marcobrunn Gemeinde Erbach. In response, the people of Hattenheim wrote on their side: That's right, that's how it should be. For Erbach the water, for Hattenheim the wine.

Marcobrunn was already a mark of quality in the 18th century and was mentioned on labels in 1726. Prominent visitors included Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), who served as ambassador to France and later became the third US president, the Shakespeare translator August Wilhelm Schlegel (1767-1845), the poet Johann W. von GoetheGoethe Johann Wolfgang (1749-1832) und der Schriftsteller Theodor Fontane (1819-1898). Letzterer machte dem Wein eine Liebeserklärung: Es ist wunderbar, welch Püffe das Herz verträgt, wenn man jeden Schlag mit einer Flasche Marcobrunn parieren kann.
