Schönhell

single vineyard in the municipality of Hallgarten in the German wine-growing region of Rheingau. The name dates back to the early 14th century and means "beautiful hillside" or "beautiful slope". The south-facing vineyards at 165 to 190 metres above sea level with slopes of up to 30% cover almost 52 hectares of vines on shallow to deep loess and loess-loam soils. They have excellent water retention capacity.

Riede Schönhell in der Gemeinde Hallgarten (Rheingau)

To the north, the vineyards are bordered and shielded by extensive forests with the 580 metre high Hallgartener Zange. The Frühernberg vineyard, which is considered a prime piece of land, is registered as a cadastral site. The main varieties cultivated are Riesling, Pinot Noir and Pinot Blanc. The Ankermühle, Barth, Bibo & Runge, Fürst Löwenstein, Geheimrat J. Wegeler Erben, Krone, Nikolai Heinz, Prinz Fred and Querbach wineries, for example, have shares in the site.
