Zellerweg am Schwarzen Herrgott Riesling VDP Grosses Gewächs

The Zellerweg am Schwarzen Herrgott is one of the most historically significant vineyards in Germany — and a Riesling that carries this origin in the glass.

The site lies on a steep, narrow fault line exactly on the border between Rheinhessen and the northern Palatinate. Pure limestone rock as a subsoil, protected from rain and harsh direct light by the narrow terrain structure — this results in a microclimate that differs significantly from the nearby Frauenberg: less exposure, more precision. As early as 700 AD, the Irish monk Philipp von Zell planted his mass wine vineyard here. The weathered wooden cross that the monks set up so they wouldn't have to return to the monastery for every prayer gave the site its name. The Schwarzer Herrgott is thus one of the oldest documented wine-growing locations of all.

As a VDP Grosses Gewächs, the wine stands for dry aging at the highest level. The limestone rock gives the Riesling a fine minerality, creamy texture, and a cool, precise acid structure. Typical of this site: aromas of white peach and citrus peel, a hint of chalk and flint, long, salty finish.

Serving temperature: 10–12 °C. Pairs with fried turbot, scallops with cauliflower, or a mature mountain cheese.

Find the right wine faster – with our picks

Row above the wines with the “Our picks” button open and three Super Tuscans

You can now find the right wine faster. Above the wines in every category there is one row that brings it all together: Our picks, Occasion, Goes with, Wine style, Filters and Sort by.

Row above the wines with Filters, Our picks, Goes with, Wine style, Bought before and Sort by; the "Our picks" button is open with "Super Tuscan" selected, next to it Tignanello, Le Volte and Le Serre Nuove

  • Our picks. The "Our picks" button comes first. Choose "Great value" to see wines that deliver more than their price suggests. Some of them have been recognised by Falstaff and other critics for exactly that, the others we have picked for you.
  • Super Tuscans. On the Tuscany page, "Our picks" also takes you to the red cult wines that deliberately broke with the old appellation rules: Tignanello, Ornellaia, Sassicaia, Le Volte, Guado al Tasso and many more, from the first step up to large formats.
  • One tap, one choice. Tap "Occasion", "Goes with" or "Wine style" and pick what you are looking for, such as "Aperitif & spritz" or "Fish". The button then shows what is currently selected.
  • Everything at a glance. Whatever you have selected appears right below. Tap the cross to remove it, or "Clear all" to remove everything at once.
  • Always at hand on your phone. The row stays at the top while you scroll, so you can change filters and sorting without scrolling back up.
  • Bought before. When you are logged in, the "Bought before" switch shows which wines in the category you have already bought from us, online or in the shop. Handy when you want to find a favourite again.
