Weingut Fritz Ekkehard Huff - das sind wir
FAMILY is very important to us and everybody gets involved. Christine Huff is a graduate oenologist, who worked for Keller/Flörsheim-Dalsheim, Aldinger/ Fellbach and Lejeune/Pommard. Her New Zealand husband Jeremy Bird-Huff joined the winery in 2010. They are both responsible for the wine making now. Ekkehard Huff manages the vineyards and the workshop. Doris Huff takes care of our customers. Our youngest generation Philippa, Olivia and our dog Donna keep everyone entertained.
Our vineyards
The ORIGIN of our wines are the vineyards throughout Nierstein and Schwabsburg. On our 10 hectares of land we grow Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinots and local heroes like Scheurebe. The steep red slopes Schloss Schwabsburg, Orbel, Pettenthal and the limestone rich Paterberg make our wines unique.
Our Craft
Instead of forcing the vines and wines into a mold, we prefer to guide them gently. We invest a great deal of manual labor in the vineyards and accept lower yields. In the cellar, we forgo animal-based and chemical fining agents, utilize natural processes, and give the wine time. In our view, this is the only way to create great wines with a unique character.
Responsibility
We love our landscape and farm life. To preserve nature's bounty, we use neither mineral fertilizers, herbicides, nor insecticides. Jeremy's sheep are used for habitat management and also produce valuable compost for the soil.
