Pfaffenberg (single vineyard Germany)

Common single-vineyard designation in Germany. It is derived from the fact that many vineyards used to be owned by the church, monasteries or monastic orders (Pfaffen = pastors, priests).

Hattenheim - Rheingau

It is assumed that the name goes back to "Dydo", the son of the knight Nikolaus von Scharfenstein, who was also called "Pfaffe" and had his estates in Hattenheim. According to another version, the name refers to the "Pfaffen" of Eberbach Monastery, who were the sole owners of this vineyard until secularisation in 1803.

The south-facing vineyard at 80 to 120 metres above sea level with a 15% slope covers six hectares of vineyards, which are enclosed by a wall. The deep, calcareous loess soil is interspersed with gravel and has good water retention capacity. The main vineyard here is Riesling. The vineyard is monopolised by Weingut Schloss Schönborn, but has been leased to Weingut Künstler Gunter since 2021.
