Cool Climate – Forest and Vines in Balance
This route leads up to the wooded hilltops of the Taunus. Wonderfully shaded for hiking. Ideal protection for the vines from harsh winds. From the ridges, the vineyards slope down again to the south towards the Rhine and are among the exposed ones in the Rheingau.
Sun is important. Coolness too. In the Rheingau, the sun shines more than 1600 hours a year; in recent years, it is often 2000 hours of sunshine. A guarantee for good, reliable grape ripening. Cool downslope winds from the Taunus bring the necessary freshness and amount of precipitation. The Rhine acts as a moisture and heat reservoir, ensuring relatively even temperatures without extreme fluctuations. This interplay is the perfect climate for late-ripening varieties such as Riesling and Pinot Noir. A climate you can taste. The cold air ensures that the grapes ripen while retaining their acid structure. You can taste this in the distinctive and fresh fruit aromas of the wines.
Right at the beginning, the path passes the "Revoluzzer Garden House." Not far from the small garden hut, the "Hallgart Circle" met on the Itzstein estate and prepared the first national assembly of 1848. In a small wooded area amid the vineyards lies the Jewish cemetery of Oestrich-Winkel, the oldest still preserved in the Rheingau. The path climbs up to the wooded Susberg, a small hill below the Hallgart Zange. Benches above the Hendelberg summit invite you to picnic with an overwhelming view. The "Schröter Madonna" in the small church is the pride of the Hallgart community. The Gothic Madonna made of fired clay dates from around 1417. The Hallgart wine carriers, who had to carry the barrels from the cellars to the wagons, chose her as their patron saint.

The Itzstein garden house was one of the political centers of the 1848 revolution. Today, the Bibo-Runge winery serves its "Revoluzzer Wines" here. www.bibo-runge-wein.de
