Wines from the Muschelkalk region of
on the Upper Moselle
Conch limestone, the heat-retaining Moselle River, and steep south-southwest-facing slopes define the climate of our vineyards in Nittel. This results in wines with distinct character, a sense of place, and depth. Out of conviction, we refrain from using insecticides and botrytis treatments and strengthen our vineyards through diverse cover crops of herbs, flowers, and grasses.
, a family-owned winery in Nittel since 1477
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!
