The Peter Wagner Way: Elegant freshness versus lush sweetness. Dry and fully fermented development, long yeast storage. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.

Peter Wagner is a winner - young, focused, progressive. After studying in Geisenheim and gaining 5 years of experience as a cellar master at "the" Franz Keller from Kaiserstuhl, he took over his parents' business in Oberrotweil and started from zero to one hundred with the 2017 vintage. Peter Wagner scores points with his own style, which seems unusual for the Kaiserstuhl: he harvests his grapes relatively early in the year in order to counteract the Baden wine with its typical lush sweetness with a slim and elegant freshness. In addition, his wines are matured dry and fully fermented, stored on the yeast for a long time and bottled unfined and unfiltered.

Natural handling of the highest good.

Peter attaches particular importance to the natural use of the rich soil, which he considers to be the most valuable asset for his winery. The use of organic fertilizers, the sowing of useful grasses and herbs and the promotion of biodiversity in the vineyard are a matter of course for him.

Die Lage

The volcano as a breeding ground.

The different volcanic soil structures give the wines a distinctive character, which is characterized by clarity, freshness, acidity and minerality. The estate and local wines grow on deep loess, sometimes in tiny terraces. The Henkenberg, Schlossberg, Kirchberg and Eichberg site wines consist of black volcanic weathering rock (tephrite). Peter relies on organic fertilizers, such as horse manure, and sowing useful grasses and herbs that strengthen soil life and promote biodiversity in the vineyard. New vineyards are planted with vines from France.
