Fine wines from the most prestigious sites since 1798. For generations, our family has lived for its passion – wines that are at once pure, authentic, and outstanding, grown in Pfalz area at the left bank of the Rhine river in southwest Germany close to the French border. The vineyards of the Pfalz lie on the foothills of the protective Haardt Mountains which check winds and rain. The region offers optimal growing conditions for dry Riesling, with sufficient sun for full ripeness and soft acidity, and as well enough cool climate for elegance and fruitiness. The human touch is inherent in every noble drop of wine. Today, three generations of Christmanns carry on in the tradition of the founders by devoting all their experience and know-how to growing grapes and making wine. They do so with great passion, enthusiasm, and dedication. As wine-growers, we’re closely connected with nature and seek to intensify this relationship and treat nature with respect in all that we do. Our goal is to produce the finest, highly individualistic, and most authentic wines possible by bringing vine/site/climate/soil into harmony with one another. Passion, attention to detail, and time are indispensable to making a good wine. Things like gentle, slow pressing under low pressure; preliminary clarification through natural sedimentation; slow fermentation with natural yeasts in traditional oak casks. For years, our wines have numbered among the best of the Pfalz or all of Germany, year for year. Facts: 22 ha/55-acre vineyards in Gimmeldingen, Königsbach, Neustadt and Ruppertsberg. VDP.
