Today, Dr. Franz Werner Michel and his wife are leading the 12 ha / 30 acres estate. The proprietor and his family personally welcome visitors - by appointment only, please - for wine tastings (also in English or Swedish) in the estate's historical cellars or in the stylish manor-house.

The vineyards are planted to Riesling (98%) and Spätburgunder or Pinot Noir (2%) and all are located on gentle slopes facing south with chalky soils rich in minerals.

The single vineyard names appearing on the bottlings are "Domdechaney", "Kirchenstück", "Hölle", "Stein", "Stielweg" and "Reichestal".

All these vineyards are classified as suitable to produce best Riesling with the designation "Erstes Gewächs" (First Growth).

As result of scientific evaluation of micro-climate and soil composition by the State Research Institute at Geisenheim, 85 % of total the viticultural area from DOMDECHANT WERNER has been officially classified as particular suitable for the production of "Erstes Gewächs" ( "First Growth" or "Premier cru") compared with 33% average in the Rheingau region. This confirms the excellent "terroir" of the estate.

Directions to the estate:
From Wiesbaden about 10 kilometers via highway 671 or from Mainz 7 km via highway 40. Approaching the village, as the street curves left after 100m take first right, and after another 100m take another right, go 100m further find the entry to the vineyards (next to the obelisk). 50m down the path, the entry to the winery is on the left.
The entry from the vineyards is much easier then the one-way streets of the historic city.

The table for festival dinners in the large dining room with historical paintings of family's ancestors reflects the more than 200 years wine culture.

The 8th and the 9th generation of the Michel family with numerous grandchildren grow up with the spirit of the long family tradition of wine culture.
