Winery Mayor Adam Schmitt
The winery Bürgermeister Adam Schmitt from Mommenheim is characterized above all by many cultivation areas in different locations, communities and growing areas. Among other things, the owner Eckhard Höbel cultivates the steepest vineyard in the region! The wines of the winery are produced organically and comply with all guidelines of the winegrower’s association Ecovin. All wines from Mayor Adam Schmitt in our Rhinehessenwine Shop are also completely vegan since 2014!
Hungermüller Winery
Quality is the highest goal for the winemakers from Dittelsheim-Haßloch. Since only small quantities are bottled, wines can be processed and handled particularly gently and carefully. The wines are gently pressed, pumped and have plenty of time to sediment and mature. Until bottling, the wine is not filtered and is vegan. In the vineyard, manual labor is the order of the day. Already in the planting of the small vines, large machines are not used, the planting is done by hand. All foliage work on the vine, is done by hand: cutting vines, lifting and tying, tacking and defoliation. The grape harvest is also done by hand wherever possible.
Because the winery harvests only healthy grapes, processes very small quantities, and gives the wines as much time as they need, the result is handcrafted one-offs that impress. Try the distinctive wines from Hungermüller in our Rhinehessenwine Shop.
Frequently asked questions about Rhinehessen wines

What are popular Rhinehessen wines?

Silvaner and Burgundy are also popular white varieties. Rhinehessen Dornfelder is one of the most successful and widely grown red wine varieties from the region, but Pinot Noir from Rhinehessen is also a wonderful taste sensation.
How large is the cultivated vineyard area in Rhinehessen?
The vineyard area of the wine-growing region of Rhinehessen around the Rhine covers approximately 27,000 hectares!
What influence does climate change have on the wines of Rhinehessen?
Due to climate change, the outside temperature in Rhinehessen is rising and the summer is getting longer, while the winter is getting shorter and milder. As a result, the vines sprout increasingly earlier in the spring, but are therefore also exposed to a higher risk of late frost. The rising temperatures in summer mean stress for the vines, which can change the wine quality and thus also the character of the wine.
Winegrowers in Rhinehessen try to counteract such negative effects by growing heat-loving grape varieties or by using modern irrigation systems to achieve a consistent climate for the vines.
