Today, the Wöhrwag winery cultivates around 19 hectares of vines that rise from the sunny Neckar valley on the slopes in
Untertürkheim from the sunny Neckar valley. They are located on the slopes of the
Mönchberg, the Altenberg and the Herzogenberg; the latter is the sole property of the winery
Estate. The vines grow preferentially on gypsum keuper soils.
Hans-Peter Wöhrwag's main focus is on Riesling (with a share of over 40 per cent)
Per cent). The rest is divided between the white wine varieties Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc
Blanc. The red wine varieties are Blauer Spätburgunder, Lemberger, Dornfelder, Merlot, Cabernet

Natural cultivation is another argument in favour of the wines, but also for the winegrower's love of nature
The winemaker's love of nature. High yields are deliberately avoided in favour of quality. This
this requires a great deal of effort in the vineyard and means losses in some
in some low-yielding years. However, the effort and sacrifice are rewarded with healthy and fully mature grapes
fully ripened grapes.
The processing of the grapes and the ageing of the wines are also carried out with particular care
in the winery's modern cellar. The red grapes are vinified in the traditional way
Traditional vinification, i.e. all red wines, including the Trollinger, are consistently fermented on the skins.
This results in wines that are easy to drink and have great ageing potential. A subsequent
subsequent ageing in wooden barrels or barriques is decided according to the grape variety and quality.
The white wines are fermented cool. In the case of Riesling, ageing in stainless steel tanks is preferred in order to
to preserve the fine, fruity character. The white Pinot varieties, on the other hand, are often
also matured in wooden barrels.
Hans-Peter Wöhrwag is the sixth generation to run the winery with great dedication.
