Weingut Melsheimer

A single soil type, a single grape variety and one single valley … At first glance, this may sound monotonous. Yet the diversity of the Riesling wines grown on a single mountain slope is an amazing phenomenon. This diversity within a microcosm seems to be a typical feature of truly great wine regions. Of course, the winemaker also plays an important part – always respecting nature and using his creativity to benefit the wines. More than 20 years ago, a new era began for the Melsheimer winery. After working alongside his father for one year in this family business steeped in tradition, Thorsten Melsheimer embarked on his journey towards organic viticulture in 1995. This major step, which was very courageous at the time, has been very successful – for our vines and the wines we make, for our natural environment with its remarkable biodiversity – and for ourselves. As winegrowers, we are directly responsible for a plot of land. We would not dream of seeing it as something that we merely “use” and “exploit”. We believe that for great wines to evolve, but also to create and sustain healthy “surroundings”, nature, culture and human beings need to find a certain harmony. To get a feel for this harmony and to adjust our own contribution accordingly requires an attentive mind, a very sensitive approach, a certain level of altruism – and confidence. We continue to learn – day by day.
