The company headquarters in Koblenz is the home of this tradition of excellence dating back more than two centuries, located in the heart of the Germany’s geographically unique and culturally rich Middle Rhine and Moselle wine regions. The superior Riesling wines of the Deinhard brand beguile the world's most sophisti - cated palates and enjoy a superb worldwide reputation as “Wines That Reign”. The lion insignia in Deinhard brand history The ‘King of the Animals’ has had a special significance in the Deinhard family heritage, as founder Johann Friedrich Deinhard was born in 1772 in the family-run tavern ‘The Lion’. And the signet has been part of the brand history as well since 1876, symbolising the Deinhard winery and wines. The wines sold by Johann Friedrich when he first opened his wine shop in the city of Koblenz in 1794 were from the family’s vineyards in the Moselle region. Trademarked in 1876, the design of The Deinhard Lion has evolved over time, adorning the labels of Deinhard wares as a symbol of strength and the noble origins of the brand. 2 The modern Lion The Deinhard wine assortment is sporting a refreshing, modern look in slim, lightweight glass bottles with a convenient screwcap.

The sun hits the dark slate floor almost vertically and heats up not only the vines but also the animals and plants there. However, the warmth and dryness can cause problems for many organisms, which is why a special kind of flora and fauna has established itself in the vineyards, one that has been able to adapt to the extreme conditions there. No wonder, therefore, that the spectrum of species has an almost Mediterranean feel to it and is, for that reason, of a kind rarely seen in Germany. This memory card game enables you to playfully learn about wall lizards, white stonecrop, etc. All the photos were taken in the local vineyards in the habitats concerned. So, with a bit of patience and luck, you will be able to track down all the plants and animals in the Moselle region yourself. Patience and intuition are also required when you play memory.
