Winter Stefan

Producer description of "Weingut Stefan Winter"

The winery is located in the municipality of Dittelsheim-Hessloch (Wonnegau area) at the foot of the Kloppberg in the German wine-growing region of . Originally from Austria, the traditional family was first mentioned in a document in 1469. They have been involved in viticulture for many generations, with Werner Winter planting Silvaner and Riesling vines as early as 1600. For a long time, however, the estate was a mixed agricultural business until the early 1990s, when it concentrated completely on viticulture. Today, the farm is run by Stefan Winter, who gained practical experience at the (Rheinhessen) and (Pfalz) wineries.

The vineyards cover 20 hectares of vineyards in the single vineyard sites (Bechtheim), and (Westhofen), as well as Geyersberg, Kloppberg and Leckerberg (Dittelsheim). They are planted with the white wine varieties Riesling, Silvaner, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc and Chardonnay, as well as the red wine variety Pinot Noir. The quality criteria in the vineyard are yield reduction, fully ripe grapes and selective hand harvesting as late as possible. The musts ferment for a period of 10 to 30 days, in some cases even for several months, depending on the wine type and flavour. Depending on the wine type, the wines are aged partly in stainless steel tanks and partly in wooden barrels. The winery is a member of the (Association of German Prädikat Wine Estates) and the German Wineelf.
