Winery Sauerweins

Along almost 20 km of the Mosel, from Nennig to Rehlingen, we plant white and red grape varieties, including more than 20% of Elbling, the oldest German vine. True to our motto "Pure Variety", there are now 20 different grape varieties (Auxerrois, Cabernet Cortis, Chardonnay, Dornfelder, Dunkelfelder, Elbling, Gewürztraminer, Pinot Gris, Kerner, Ortega, Regent, Riesling, Rivaner, Roter Riesling, Sankt Laurent, Schwarzriesling, Solaris, Pinot Noir, Syrah and Pinot Blanc).

The diversity of grape varieties reflects the diversity of our region. Our soils in Palzem near the Moselle consist of shell limestone. They are foothills of the Paris Basin. They warm up quickly, are permeable and particularly well suited for Elbling and the Burgundy varieties. One-third of our vineyards are steep slopes - which means a lot of manual work: from pruning in winter to leaf care, defoliation and grape halving in summer to manual harvesting in autumn. Our white wines are fermented in stainless steel or wooden barrels. The red wines mature after the mash fermentation partly 1-2 years in small barriques.
