As far back as 1780, the Windisch family has lived in the village of Mommenheim near Nierstein and Mainz. Fritz Windisch was the first to start estate-bottling wine in the 1920s. Now his son Guenter carries on the family tradition.

The typical vineyard soil in Rheinhessen is loess, which is the most typical parent rock in this area. Wind-borne sands are found in the Rhine Valley near Alsheim, Mettenheim, Gimbsheim, Guntersblum and on the northern edge of the Rheinhessen plateau between Mainz and Ingelheim.

As well as producing wines using the Riesling grape, the Windisch vineyards also produce fine wines using Dornfelder, Scheurebe, Mueller-Thurgau, Silvaner, Grauer-Burgunder, Weisser-Burgunder, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Portugieser and Regent. Due to their individual sites, the Windisch vineyards are all different, but the wines, produced from grapes fermented in oak casks and stainless steel tanks, all have something in common: they all have a racy, fruity character and represent the typical character of wines from this growing region. The average age of the vines in this estate is about 20 years. The permanent quality control and the maintenance of a stable temperature guarantee the excellent quality of the Windisch wines.
