Wülfen

single vineyard in the municipality of Rauenthal in the German wine-growing region of Rheingau. It was first mentioned in 1211 and 1600 as "Wülffen" or "Wüllfen", which was used to describe a rounded mound. According to another version, the name could also refer to the family name Wolf, which was once widespread in the Rheingau.

The south-facing vineyards lie at around 180 to 240 metres above sea level and have a slope grad ient of 10 to 40%. They cover 16 hectares of vineyards with medium to deep phyllite slate soils interspersed with a layer of tertiary marl. The Riesling variety is mainly cultivated here. The Albus, Hessische Staatsweingüter (Kloster Eberbach) and H. J. Ernst wineries, for example, have shares in the site.
