Where spring starts earlier than elsewhere in Germany and 1,600 sun hours bring golden autumn days, it goes without saying that this region is home to delicious high-quality wines. Not only the classic Riesling grape variety grows on approximately 840 hec-tares alongside the Hessische und Badische Bergstraße – Hessian and Baden Bergstrasse, but also Weißer Burgunder (Pinot Blanc), Grauer Burgunder (Pinot Gris) and Müller-Thurgau. The grape va-riety Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir) dominates the field of red wines. Furthermore, the Bergstrasse winegrowers offer, of course, a ran-ge of sparkling wines – from traditional bottle fermen-tation to Secco. This product line-up is completed by fine spirits.

The Bergstrasse offers numerous wine events for all connoisseurs. In spring, the “Bergsträßer Weinfrü- ling” – “Bergstrasse Wine Spring” and in the second half of the year, the “Bergsträßer Weinherbst” –“Bergstrasse Wine Autumn” invite you to enjoy the diversity of wine in combination with culinary de-lights, either on the occasion of the famous Wein-Vineyardswanderung – walking tour through the vi-neyards or during a wine tasting. And, of course, you are invited to savour Bergstrasse wine on the occasi-on of one of the numerous Bergstrasse wine festivals.

Our grape varieties – the most importants

Riesling One of the oldest grape varieties and, there is no doubt, the noblest one. Due to its late maturity, high requirements concerning the growing region have to be met. The special climate at the Bergstrasse is a guarantee for fine, racy and elegant Riesling wines – reaching from QbA to ice wine.

Roter Riesling The historical grape variety is a special feature of the „Bergstraße“ and produces white wine of red grapes with dense aromas.

Grauburgunder (Ruländer) – Pinot GrisIts diversity ranges from a tangy version with a fine spirited acidity to a full-bodied and oily-flowing wine. As a mellow wine, Grauburgunder – Pinot Gris ranges from a full-bodied wine up to a noblesweet Drybeerenauslese (a wine made of selected dry berries).

Weißburgunder – Pinot BlancA mutation of grapes of the Burgundy family. Due to its fine spirited acidity, it ranges among Germany’s most characterful and full-bodied wines and it is also stored in oak barrels (barrique) for aging.

Müller-Thurgau (Rivaner)It loves warm loess and loam soil and therefore it ripens to high quality at the sunny Bergstrasse. The fruity and mellow wines are very aromatic and often have a pleasant nutmeg note.

SilvanerRather neutral wines of mild acidity are made of Silvaner grapes. There are also rustic varieties that go along very well with hearty regional food as well as fine wines.

Spätburgunder – Pinot NoirThis grape, indigenous to the Burgundy, is the leading red wine variety at the Bergstrasse. The “king of red wines” is known for its powerful and characteri-stic wines.

Dornfelder This new red grape variety stands out through its dark, fruity and full-bodied wines of mild acidity.

Portugieser (Portuguese)This type of wine is an uncomplicated, fresh and smooth one which is nice to drink. Without containing too much tannic acid, it may be enjoyed in spring already.

St. LaurentSaint-Laurent wines are fruity, velvety and have strong fruit flavours in the bouquet. Wines of higher quality often mature in oak barrels (barrique).Fruchtaromen im Bukett.
