Gazing across the Bodenheimer Hoch vineyard, imagine the slopes as they appeared in 1629. Back then, this elevated plateau overlooking Mainz was simply known as “auf der Höhe” or “on the heights”. Today, we call it Bodenheimer Hoch. This vineyard boasts slopes reaching a 35% incline, a challenging yet rewarding terrain for the vines. Bodenheimer Hoch is known for its Löss-Lehm-Tonboden soil, a mix of loess, loam, and clay. This unique terroir nurtures Riesling and Weißburgunder grapes, giving them their distinct character. The vineyard also cultivates Spätburgunder and other newer red wine varieties, adding to the rich tapestry of flavors. Bodenheim, where Bodenheimer Hoch is situated, offers more than just exceptional wines. It’s part of the RheinTerrassenWeg (Rhine Terraces Path), a scenic route winding alongside the Rhine. The RheinRadweg Rheinhessen (Rhine Cycle Route Rheinhessen) also passes nearby, inviting exploration of the picturesque landscape. So, next time you savor a glass of wine from Bodenheimer Hoch, remember the history etched into these slopes and the dedication that goes into every bottle.
