A mystical island in the Rhine

The Rhine island of Mariannenaue is a European nature reserve and has been a protected designation of origin for quality wine since 2015.

Around 10,000 years ago, the mighty Rhine formed the island of Mariannenaue on a bed of limestone rocks made of sand and gravel washed up from the Alps.

Its location in the middle of the Rhine creates a special microclimate. Here, Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Roter Riesling find the best conditions to ripen optimally on 24 hectares of organic vineyards. The unique terroir produces wines with an unmistakable character of origin.
