GH from Mumm'sches Weingut
GH von Mumm is a German winery in Johannisberg in the Rheingau wine region . It has existed since 1822 and has been a member of the Association of German Predicate and Quality Wineries (VdP) since 2012 .
history
The vineyards were acquired by Gottlieb Mumm, the son of the Frankfurt banker and wine merchant Peter Arnold Mumm (1733–1797) in 1822 and later supplemented by the construction of a stately manor house. The Mumm'sche winery is located near Johannisberg Castle , with which the Mumm family had business relationships as wine merchants since the early 19th century.
Gottlieb Mumm expanded the vineyards in Johannisberg and in 1827 founded the - still known today - champagne house PA Mumm (today GH Mumm ) in Reims with partners , which was expropriated during the First World War by the war opponent France.
In 1852 the estate was named "GH Mumm" after Gottlieb Mumm's son Georg Hermann Mumm (1816–1887). The middle-class family aspired to the title of nobility, which they were awarded in 1873 with "Mumm von Schwarzenstein". From the following year she built Schwarzenstein Castle in Johannisberg as a historicizing castle ruin. In 1896 they acquired the hereditary title of barony. Georg Hermann Mumm's son, in turn, was Hermann Mumm von Schwarzenstein (1842–1904), who was known as a champagne baron and who built the palatial Villa Mumm in Frankfurt am Main .
As a replacement for the lost champagne production in Reims, Godefroy H. von Mumm founded the “GH Mumm Sektkellerei GH Mumm” in Eltville in 1922 , which had to be called “ von Mumm” from 1933 on the instructions of the Prussian Ministry of the Interior in order to distinguish itself from the French house.
The GH von Mumm wine and sparkling wine estates were taken over by Rudolf August Oetker's grocery group in 1957 , and the sparkling wine cellar was separated in 1958, which has been a Rotkäppchen-Mumm sparkling wine brand since 2002 through the intermediate owner Seagram . In 1980 the winery was combined with Schloss Johannisberg, which in the meantime also belongs to Oetker, to form "JWG Johannisberg Weinvertrieb KG" (today Henkell & Co. Sektkellerei ) with a total of 100 hectares. 65 hectares are cultivated by GH von Mumm and 35 by Schloss Johannisberg . After the Hessian state wineries , the formally separate businesses are the largest wine producer in the Rheingau.
In 2011 the estate brought out the wine 50th degree of latitude - 2011 Riesling dry , through whose cultivation position the 50th degree of latitude runs. In 2012 the winery became the 197th member of the Association of German Prädikatsweingüter (VdP).
