Wengerter Rainer

Producer description of "Weingut Wengerter"

The winery is located in the municipality of Erlenbach am Main (Mainviereck area) in the heart of Churfranken in the German wine-growing region of Franconia. The former Erlenbach Municipal Winery passed into the ownership of the Wengerter family in 1999 and is run by farm manager Rainer Wengerter. The affiliated restaurant "Winzerstube Wengerter" in the Röllfeld district offers culinary highlights with "Asparagus and Wine" in spring and "Geese and Wine" in autumn. The largest classic car meeting on the Lower Main also takes place here once a month during the summer months. The vineyards cover 17 hectares of vineyards in the single vineyard sites Hochberg (Erlenbach a. M.), Jesuitenberg and Schalk (Rück), Schlossberg (Klingenberg), Lützeltalerberg (Großwallstadt), Bischofsberg (Großheubach), as well as Deutschordensberg (Röllbach).

They are planted with the white wine varieties Riesling, Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay, Silvaner, Müller-Thurgau, Bacchus, Kerner and Gewürztraminer, as well as with the red wine varieties Pinot Noir, Blauer Portugieser, Zweigelt, Blauburger, Dornfelder, Regent and Cabernet Mitos. A selective grape harvest in several rounds guarantees ripe and healthy grapes. Processing is carried out with gentle handling of grapes and wines during cellar ageing. The red wines are predominantly vinified dry. A Secco Blanc-de-Noir is also produced. Around 70,000 bottles of wine are produced annually.

In the past, you needed a wealth of encyclopaedias and specialist literature to keep up to date in your vinophile professional life. Today, Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one of my best helpers and can rightly be called the "bible of wine knowledge".
