Schützenhaus

single vineyard in the municipality of Hattenheim in the German wine-growing region of Rheingau. The name suggests a guardian's hut, which was intended to protect the "Traubeschütz"(vineyard guard ian) from bad weather in autumn. He used a scare gun to chase away the grape-eating starlings and other birds. It is located at the western entrance to Hattenheim and stretches slightly uphill to the south-south-west. At the same time, the elongated site runs a little to the west and is thus protected from cold easterly winds. The mainly south to south-west facing vineyards at 100 to 150 metres above sea level with a slope of only 10% cover 52 hectares of vines. The deep, coloured slate soils with loess and loess loam have a high water retention capacity. The main varieties cultivated here are Riesling and Pinot Noir. The Barth, Bausch Hans, Georg Müller Stiftung and Ress Balthasar wineries, for example, have shares in the site.
