Marcobrunn, Spring and vineyard location in Eltville am Rhein, Germany
The Marcobrunn vineyard stretches across a gentle south-facing slope on the Strahlenberg between Hattenheim and Erbach, covering 6.7 hectares of land.
The name Marcobrunn originated from the Old German word 'marka' meaning boundary, as the spring marked the border between Erbach and Hattenheim.
In 1810, residents constructed a neoclassical fountain near the vineyard, which continues to serve as a meeting point for local wine enthusiasts.
The vineyard soil consists of deep calcareous and clayey marl, providing excellent conditions for growing Riesling grapes throughout the growing season.
Thomas Jefferson visited this location in 1788, and the 1868 Marcobrunn wine was served to Kaiser Wilhelm I at the Niederwald monument inauguration.
