Weingut Eymann Riesling

Winemaker Eymann on the winery

“Our family winery is located in Gönnheim, in the Pfalz. We are among the pioneers of organic viticulture in Germany and have avoided synthetic chemical pesticides since the 1980s. Since 2006, we have farmed our vineyards according to biodynamic principles and have been certified by Demeter. We believe in healthy soils, biodiversity and a natural approach to winemaking. Through hand harvesting, spontaneous fermentation and minimal additions, we aim to preserve the character of our grapes and vineyards as purely as possible.”

And on Pfalz, Germany

“For our Riesling Gutswein, we select grapes from several vineyards around Gönnheim. The relatively warm, sunny conditions in the Pfalz ensure good ripeness, while cool nights help preserve the wine’s fresh acidity. We farm biodynamically and allow the must to ferment spontaneously, with as little intervention as possible. The result is a pure, lively Riesling combining fresh citrus and green apple with riper stone fruit and subtle minerality. An approachable wine that beautifully expresses the character of the grape and the region.”
