The winegrowers' cooperative is located in the municipality of Erbach in the German wine-growing region of Rheingau. The "Gasthaus zum Engel" or "Gutsauschank Winzer von Erbach" offers only its own wines. Ronald Müller-Hagen is the managing director and Siegfried Bug is the cellar master. The vineyards cover 32 hectares in the single vineyard sites Michelmark and Steinmorgen (Erbach), Klosterberg, Sandgrub and Wasseros (Kiedrich) as well as in the Großlage Honigberg. Around 30% of the Riesling and Spätburgunder areas are classified as Rheingau First Growths. These are cultivated by 35 member winegrowers according to specifications. The white wine varieties Riesling (with over 90% of the area), Pinot Gris and Cabernet Blanc are planted, as well as the red wine varieties Pinot Noir, St. Laur ent and Cabernet Dorio.
The wein.plus encyclopaedia is a comprehensive, well-researched reference work. Available anytime and anywhere, it has become an indispensable part of teaching, used by students and myself alike. Highly recommended!
