The climate is influenced by the nearby Donnersberg, which allows cool winds to flow into the region. The vineyards rise up to 280 metres. Cool climate at its finest. We now own 25 hectares of the unique sites, which are spread across the entire Zellertal. The special feature of the Zellertal is that in one of its sites (the Schwarzen Herrgott), the border between Rheinhessen and the Palatinate was drawn completely arbitrarily at the Congress of Vienna in 1816, dividing the region into two wine-growing areas. However, in terms of viticulture and terroir, the region forms a single unit and cannot be distinguished.
For H.O. Spanier, this region is so special that he has dedicated a wine to it that combines the minerality and uniqueness of this limestone terroir – our interpretation of the Zellertal limestone.
