The Romans introduced viticulture to the Rhein River region. Then as today, grapes and wine are a pure product of nature. Since 2000 years and for many generations to come, nature is our invaluable production partner. We depend on sunshine, clouds, wind, and rain. It is our utmost responsibility to protect soil, water and air. We owe this to our children. In great awareness of this obligation, we farm sustainable and in harmony with nature – we return to our vineyards that which we have drawn from them, we maintain the natural balance of our soils. No more, no less. Only a nature in balance – over generations – provides the basis for unique, outstanding wines.

Rheinhessen is the most innovative wine growing region in Germany. The remarkable diversity of its different regions as well as the Rhein River as its lifeline provide new stimuli again and again. For LOUIS GUNTRUM the Rhein River is home and has been an inseperable part of its history. From the first glance in the morning to the last glimpse at night, the Rhein River is always around. Rhein kilometer 482 provides a taste of Nierstein and our passion for wine. The unique terroir of Rheinhessen as well as the microclimate along the Rhein river have inspired us to create km482^®.
