In the village of Deidesheim in Germany’s Pfalz region, Von Winning has been crafting wine since 1849, nestled among sandstone slopes and forested hills that shape some of southern Germany’s most distinctive wines. Today, the estate offers a meticulously produced range of sustainable and biodynamic wines sourced from some of the finest sites in the region.
Among the many distinctions of this remarkable estate are its world-class Rieslings, born from an extraordinary terroir. The vineyards draw their character from a mosaic of soils volcanic basalt formed over 50 million years ago, limestone, sandstone, and remnants of ancient coral reefs, creating Grosses Gewächs wines that express the unique personality of each plot with stunning precision.
Intensive and sustainable work in the vineyards enables winemakers to produce a sustainable harvest of highly aromatic and healthy grapes. This valuable fruit is patiently vinified and untreated in the historic cellar. Musts are fermented using their indigenous yeasts without artificial cooling in different sized old oak barrels and or stainless steel.
Von Winning ages its wines on fine lees for up to 18 months, building texture and depth. Maturation occurs French oak barrels ranging from 500L to 1,200L. This approach imparts a creamy mouthfeel, delicate spice, and layered complexity, while preserving the vibrant fruit and mineral precision that define their style.
These very elegant, crisp wines undergo gentle winemaking to create electric bottles ready to drink now and the ability for many years to come...Winning.
