Germany "From Berlin to Frankfurt" 2023 (Saale Unstrut, Sachsen, Franken, Württemberg) by ombiasy WineTours took place from Monday, June 19, 2023 to Thursday, June 29, 2023.
We spent 2 1/2 days in the Saale Unstrut region.
We visited 5 wineries: Weingut Born in Salzatal-Höhnstedt, Weingut Herr & Frau Lüttmer, Landesweingut Kloster Pforta in Bad Kösen, Weingut Pawis (VDP) in Freyburg and Weingut Gussek in Naumburg.
The last, but not least, winery we visited before moving on to Sachsen was Weingut Gussek in Naumburg.
We had been there before once, almost 10 years ago.

Weingut Gussek in Naumburg, Saale-Unstrut
André Gussek came
to Naumburg in the 1980s. For more than 20 years he was the cellar
master at Kloster Pforta in Bad Kösen, near Naumburg, first during GDR
times at the socialist co-operative VEG Weinbau Naumburg, and later
after reunification at Landesweingut Kloster Pforta, with 300 acres of
vineyards. After the collapse of the GDR and the reunification of
Germany, André Gussek bought property in Naumburg in 1993. He found the
current property surrounded by 5 acres of vineyard land (Kaatschener
Dachsberg and Naumburger Steinmeister) to pursue his dream of making his
own wine. In the beginning, this was a part-time endeavor, but in 2002,
the time was right to fully concentrate on his own wine making estate,
the Winzerhof Gussek. Over the following years he expanded the vineyards
to 30 acres. 66% of his vineyards are planted with white grape
varietals and 34% with Pinot Noir and Zweigelt, a flagship red varietal
of Austria. His red wines are stunning and among the finest in Germany.
André Gussek is founding member of the 51. Breitengrad winemakers group. The members sell their top dry wines under the Breitengrad 51 label, which are in practical terms their GG (Grosses Gewächs – Grand Cru) wines. Today André Gussek’s sons take on more and more responsibilities and give the wineries a new push.
