The "Weingut und Sektgut Heiko Bamberger" is located in the municipality of Meddersheim in the German wine-growing region of Nahe. Winegrowing has been practised for several generations. Since 2014, it has been run by Heiko Bamberger and his wife Ute. In 2015, the newly built vinotheque was put into operation, offering space for tastings and events. A view of the riddling desks is possible from here. This also emphasises the importance of sparkling wine production as an essential segment of the farm.
The vineyards cover 15 hectares of vineyards in the single vineyard sites Altenberg and Rheingrafenberg (Meddersheim), Frühlingsplätzchen (Monzingen), and Marbach (Sobernheim). They are planted with the white wine varieties Riesling (the main variety with 60% of the stock), Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Gewürztraminer and Müller-Thurgau, as well as the red wine varieties Pinot Noir, Frühburgunder and Dornfelder. Sustainable viticulture is practised according to Fair'n Green rules, which have been certified since the 2017 vintage.
Most of the white wines are fermented spontaneously and matured in stainless steel tanks. The red wines are largely matured in traditional large wooden barrels and in barrique barrels. The speciality of the house is the vintner's sparkling wine, which is stored on the yeast for up to six years. In the wine segment, the Réserve wines form the top of the collection. The best wines are marketed two years after the harvest at the earliest, after extended bottle ageing. The product range also includes the Spätburgunder Meddersheimer Rheingrafenberg, the light-pressed Spätburgunder Blanc de noirs, as well as Riesling Meddersheimer Altenberg and Riesling Monzinger Frühlingsplätzchen. In years with suitable weather conditions, an ice wine is also produced.
