New in our assortment: Weingut am Kaiserbaum

Decription of the winery

Weingut am Kaiserbaum, Hammel-Hundinger is a family-winery in the northern part oft he region of „Pfalz“. Since 2006, Gerald Hundinger is responsible for the 18 hectars of vineyards and the cellar. Especially the time of education at Weingut Müller-Catoir under the cellarmaster-legend Hans-Günter Schwarz has a big influence on his way of winegrowing. The philosophy and especially the ecological thinking of his father Frithjof continue to be improved.

Centre of the winery is the Kaiserbaum. This violett-flowering tree was planted in 1980, in the year of Gerald’s birth and is now part of the winery-own classification:

The „Kaiserbaum-wines“ build the middle segment and stand in the hierarchy above the „Gutsweine“. At the top you find the „Kaiserbaum-Gold-wines“ from top locations.

The wine-growing work follows the principles of controlled environment-friendly practices.

The avoiding of insecticides and herbicides, the gentle soil-working, the use of compost, the greening of the rows lead to a healthy soil structure and the tastfulness of the grapes.

The vineyards reach from the village of Gerolsheim over Laumersheim, Weisenheim am Sand to Freinsheim. The multiple different soil types and microclimats guarantee perfect ripening conditions for our grape varieties.

Red wines are traditionally matured in oak barrels, to reach storable wines. Ripeness and structure decide about the use of new small barriques or neutral big barrels. The white wines are reductively fermented in stainless steel and are allowed to develop long on the lees.
