In December 2020, Anne Krebiehl, MW, published this piece on German Sekt and raised a point about the opportunity for a Sekt from Schwarzriesling grapes from Württemberg…“All we need now is for Württemberg to wake up to the potential of its many hectares of Schwarzriesling (aka Pinot Meunier).” A Wunderwein producer, Coop Weingärtner Stromberg-Zabergäu jumped on […]
The traditional property of the Freiherr von Gleichenstein Estate is located in the Kaiserstuhl in the middle of countless vineyards and surrounded by charming and unspoiled nature.

A family estate that has shaped the tastes of wine lovers over generations, ungrafted century-old vines (a rarity in Ahr) and old-school diligence, counterbalance the latest vineyard […]
