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.
In Württemberg, the last of the 4 regions we went to, we visited:
Weingut Fürst Hohenlohe-Öhringen (VDP) in Öhringen-Verrenberg, Württemberg, with the New Managing Director Carl-Julius Cromme
Weingut Schlossgut Hohenbeilstein (VDP) in Beilstein, Württemberg
Weingut Beurer (VDP) in Kernen, Württemberg, with Jochen Beurer
Weingut Schnaitmann (VDP) in Fellbach, Württemberg, with Rainer Schnaitmann
Weingut Lassak in Hessigheim, Würrtemberg, with Stefanie and Fabian Lassak
Weingut Graf Neipperg (VDP) in Schwaigern, Württemberg
Weingut Dautel (VDP) in Bönnigheim, Württemberg, with Ernst and Christian Dautel
At Weingut Fürst Hohenlohe-Öhringen we were received by the New Managing Director, Carl-Julius Cromme, with a glass of Sekt. We toured the cellar and sat down for a tasting of the wines of Weingut Fürst Hohenlohe-Öhringen. Before leaving, we took a short walk to the vineyards.
Carl-Julius Cromme took over as MD of Weingut Fürst Hohenlohe-Öhringen just a few weeks before our visit. He graduated with an Master (Weinwirtschaft) from the University of Giessen in 2018. Until 2021, he was the MD of Weingut Steintal (VDP) in Franken and then worked at Weingut Korell (Nahe).
Weingut Fürst Hohenlohe-Öhringen (VDP) in Öhringen-Verrenberg, Württemberg
As Germany’s oldest family-owned winery, the Hohenlohe-Öhringen family can look back to the year 1253 as the founding year of their viticulture history. The 27th generation is now at the helm and today they manage 42 acres of the solely owned site Verrenberger Verrenberg.
The vineyard is planted with the traditional Württemberg varietals Lemberger and Riesling, and also with Spätburgunder, some Weissburgunder, Sauvignon Blanc, and Cabernet Franc. Since 2008 the vineyards have been cultivated according to organic guidelines.
The goal is to produce distinctive wines that not only express varietal character, but also that of their origin. Their 2013 Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese was awarded the Gold Medal at the 2015 Decanter World Wine Awards.
This estate was the pioneer
in creating cuvées in Württemberg. More than 20 years ago Siegfried
Röll, their winemaker in those days, toured Bordeaux and on the long
drive back home he began wondering why they did not produce a Bordeaux
type blend at home. He blended the local variety Lemberger with
traditional Bordeaux grapes Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot and voilà -
this cuvée came out beautifully. This was in 1986. They named the cuvée
"Ex Flammis Orior" after the inscription on the family coat
of arms.
