Since VON WINNING Winery was founded in 1849, unique wines reflecting vineyards in Ruppertsberg, Deidesheim, and Forst have been produced in their historic cellar.
In 1907, Leopold von Winning, son-in-law of Dr. Andreas Deinhard, dedicated his life to creating top quality wines with respect to the outstanding vineyards in which he was allowed to work. As a founding member of the VDP he introduced his believes into the philosophy of this renowned association. Today, the young and ambitious team around Stephan Attmann deliberately uphold this visionary’s tradition.
Intensive and sustainable work in the vineyards enables to harvest highly aromatic and healthy grapes. This valuable fruit is vinified with a lot of patience and untreated in VW historic cellar. Musts are fermented relatively turbid and without artificial cooling in different size oak barrels using their indigenous yeasts. This way they preserve the precious phenolic compounds, which shape the aroma and bestow a deep and complex structure upon Von Winnings’ wines. Subsequently, the wines are moved only one time on their way into the bottle.This way, grapes from significant vineyard sites become special wines, which express the house’s unique style.
