to the Hubertus M. Apel Winery

Quality grows
in the vineyard
Shell limestone! The heat storage capacity of the rock and the sun-reflecting Moselle characterize the climate. With a slope inclination of up to 35% and a south-southwest orientation, we offer our vines the very best conditions for optimal development. It is our own conviction that we do not use herbicides, boticides and insecticides. We further increase the vitality of our vineyards by sowing various herbs, flowers and grasses. With this combination, we strengthen the natural plant power of the vines and can harvest grapes of the very best quality year after year.
Preserving tradition, shaping the future
Our family has been involved in viticulture since 1477 and has lived in Nittel for just as long. While the great-grandfather was still mainly a wine merchant, Hubertus Matthias and his wife Elfriede drove the wine production forward.
This development work was continued in 1988 by his sons Harald and Hubert, who worked together for over 30 years to turn the business into one of the most modern wineries on the Moselle.
In 2016, the fourth generation of brothers Philip, Johannes and Matthias followed their father Harald into the family business. A family business through and through!

WINE MESSAGE (08.08.2026)
From this year onwards, the WeinBootschaft will take place every two years, i.e. after a fantastic evening in summer 2024, the next edition will follow in summer 2026.
The WeinBootschaft is an open wine tasting on deck of the Princesse Marie-Astrid. The WeinBOOTschaft sails along the Luxembourg border to the border triangle (Germany - Luxembourg - France) near Schengen.
Many of the region's winegrowers present their wines in a unique setting in the middle of the Moselle. We change our perspective and see the beauty of the region from a different angle.
Look forward to a very special boat trip!
The Elblingfreunde der südlichen Weinmosel e. V. invite you and offer great live music on board and a few delicacies from the ship's kitchen after the wine tasting.
