Bingen Kirchberg (Church hill of Bingen)

Quartzite lies between chapel and church

The Rochuskapelle (Rochus Chapel) towers above, the Kempten district of Bingen on the banks of the Rhine below. In between the picturesque "Binger Kirchberg" vineyard, first mentioned in 1726. It probably got its name from the view of Kempten's Dreikönigskirche (holy trinity church). Mainly Riesling grows here, but there is also some Pinot Noir found. The loam-loess soil has a high stone content and is very rich in lime and quartzite. The quartzite contains iron oxide, colouring parts of the soil red. The wines show a distinctive flinty minerality.

"The basis of a wine is placed in the vineyard and so there is already decided on quality and character. That's why respect for nature and the vineyard ecosystem are very important to us. "


 


Our passion


We want to vinify wines that are vibrant and long lasting.
We want to know our vines, to know what is good for them. We want to keep our grapes in their hands before they turn into wine. And we want life in our vineyards to flourish: in the earth, in the air, between the vineyards and above all in the vines themselves. The higher the biodiversity, the better for soils and wines.


 


Natural quality


To clamp quality on top level, it needs "a good team":
excellent locations and floors, consistent care and attention throughout the year, absolute care in the vineyard as well as in the cellar and, of course, a lot of knowledge and dedicated people! Only then can we bring the characteristics of our plants into the bottle as authentically as possible: balanced, terroir-specific and delicate.
