The Cellar: The Guntrum family winery has stood along the beautiful banks of the Rhine since 1646. Between the two small German villages of Nierstein and Oppenheim, southwest of Frankfurt am Main, lies this marvelous complex of historic cellars, so old that a once-nonexistent railway and road now run above them. Today, Louis Guntrum, drawing on the legacy passed down through eleven generations of his family, produces his wines in this part of Germany, renowned and exported to over sixty countries worldwide. For both whites and reds, starting with a selection of the finest international grape varieties, he bottles a truly extraordinary finished product. Unique among many, the Louis Guntrum winery is also committed to promoting small, single-variety vineyards, known as "single-site" vineyards. This allows tiny plots of vineyards, characterized by different terroirs and microclimates, to produce unique flavors that further enhance each winery's unique label: a great tradition, a small winery, exceptional wines.
