From the Southern Wine Route

On the Southern Wine Route, the name says it all: because the sun shines here more often than in any other region in Germany, exclusive wines can be produced with the best soil conditions. The Southern Wine Route is not only located in Germany's second largest wine-growing region, it is also home to winemakers whose names rank among the wine elite. Here, winemakers create the perfect connection between a great, old wine tradition and the modern demand for an outstanding growth. The wine list of the Southern Wine Route is correspondingly diverse. You can experience this at countless convivial festivals or individually with the winemaker in person.

Harvest experience

The harvest time is certainly the most exciting moment for the winegrower. This is when it is decided whether all the effort put into tending the vineyard will be rewarded with a successful wine. When a wine is ripe for harvesting depends, of course, mainly on the grape variety and the weather. Ultimately, the winemaker determines when the grapes find their way into the cellar. He assesses the weather risk, plans which wine he wants to press and when. For on the one hand, a wine will in principle be better if the plant has a long time to care for the grapes. On the other hand, a sudden frost or a period of rain can affect the harvest.

And then the new wine arrives on the table...

It belongs to autumn like the colourful leaves: new wine or also called Federweißer owes its name to its appearance, because during the fermentation of the grape must, the milky yeast particles in the grape juice are stirred up, giving the impression that there are many small, white feathers in the glass. The new wine combines perfectly with oven-fresh onion tart, Pfälzer Saumagen or chestnuts - a pleasure that wine lovers can only experience in autumn. In October, the new wine is celebrated along the Southern Wine Route at numerous wine festivals.
