context_page_description: Niersteiner Glöck is a 2.1 hectares wall-enclosed vineyard in Nierstein in Rheinhessen, Germany. It is the oldest named vineyard site in Germany.
  Glöck is one of handful single vineyard sites in Germany which for reasons of historical significance have dispensation from having to include a village name together with the vineyard's name, so the wines from the Glöck vineyard site are simply labelled Glöck.
  Since 1925, the vineyard belongs exclusively to the Staatliche Weinbaudomäne Oppenheim, which is owned by the government of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate, and is part of the Dienstleistungszentrum Ländlicher Raum Rheinhessen-Nahe-Hunsrück. The vineyard is currently planted with Riesling and Pinot noir vines.
