Weingart Florian

Producer description of "Weingut Florian Weingart"

The winery is located in the municipality of Oberspay in the German wine-growing region of Mittelrhein. Formerly a mixed agricultural operation, Adolf Weingart converted it to pure viticulture in the second half of the 20th century, thus laying the foundations for today's business. Since 1996, the estate has been run by Florian Weingart and his family. His parents Adolf and Helga Weingart run a holiday home with a view of the Rhine and help out at the winery. Florian Weingart describes himself as an "anarchist", but before this is misunderstood, here is a short extract from the website: Anarchism means humility of man towards things that are greater than him. The anarchist wine simply negates any branding and one-sided classification, it doesn't give a damn about flavour corridors and product pyramids."

The vineyards, most of which are on steep slopes, cover 5.5 hectares of vines in the single vineyard sites Engelstein (in the two cadastral sites "In der Zech" and "Am Weißen Wacke" in Monopol), Feuerlay and Ohlenberg (Bopparder Hamm). The vineyards are 85% Pinot Noir ( Riesling Pinot Noir) and 15% Pinot Noir ( Spätburgunder). Narrow row widths and high vine density force deeper root formation. Quality-enhancing measures include yield reduction and strict selection of physiologically ripe, healthy grapes. Clean botrytis is also harvested at Riesling. After predominantly spontaneous fermentation, the wines remain in stainless steel. Pure yeast is also used for dry wines. The wines are stored on the full lees and, after racking, on the fine lees until bottling at the end of April/beginning of May. The red wines are matured for one year in 300-litre barriques. In years with favourable weather conditions, Trockenbeerenauslese and ice wines are also produced.
