The Wine Estate – The Island of Mariannenaue Idyllic nature, where daphne flowers blossom and dandelion seeds drift in the wind – mind, body and soul can relax here. The characteristic architecture of the landscape is in complete harmony with an untouched nature and viticulture, a place where Princess Marianne, at the origin of the Island’s name, found delight. The Rhine has formed the terroir of this 84 ha large and 4 km long island over a period of thousands of years. Deep layers of limestone were swamped with loam from the meadows and mixed with sand and gravel. Combined with an exceptional micro climate, grape varieties such as Riesling, Weissburgunder, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc grow exceptionally well here. The wines taste fresh and fruity and are uncomplicated. Today, the Island is part of the European Natural Reserve comprising areas surrounding the Rhine. Upon request at our Wine Estate, you can be shipped across to the Island and enjoy the wine and tranquillity of its nature. Wine tasting/Celler tours Shop
