Herkunftsbezogene Weine aus dem Welzbachtal zu erschaffen ist unsere Mission – Riesling unsere Leidenschaft!

03/10/2026

Autumn has arrived in the Welzbachtal.

After the intensity of harvest, things are slowly beginning to quiet down. The vineyards are changing colour, the mornings are getting cooler, and the first fog settles in the valley.

In the cellar, the 2026s are still moving. Fermentations are entering their final stages, and the w**es are slowly beginning to show where they are heading.

Now comes a different part of the vintage: tasting, observing, waiting — and giving the w**es the time they need.

Harvest 2026 is on. 🍇🔥

Our harvest has been underway since September 3. We started with Chardonnay for our sparkling w**e – and now we’re right in the middle of it.

Every day counts.

We’re out in the vineyards every day, tasting the grapes, monitoring sugar levels and ripeness, chewing the skins and seeds, assessing bitterness and phenolic maturity, and looking for depth, energy, and complexity.

Numbers give us guidance. But they don’t tell us when the right moment has arrived.

2026 is an incredibly exciting and challenging vintage. Simply harvesting early will not be the key to producing exceptional w**es.

It’s about finding the right moment.

Vineyard by vineyard.
Parcel by parcel.

The moment when freshness and physiological ripeness come together. When bitterness becomes structure. When depth develops without losing energy and tension.

The first Chardonnay lots are already in the cellar. More Chardonnay and Pinot Noir parcels will follow.

2026 is challenging us. We’re ready.

We love big bottles! ❤️😍

A little extra work, a little extra patience — but definitely worth it.
Our 2025 Welzbachtal Riesling in Magnum.
Bottled, waxed and finished by hand.

Because some w**es are simply made to be shared.

We love big bottles.

Almost ready.

The 2025 Erste Lagen 1G and Grosse Lagen (GG) w**es will be released on September 1.

Family business. ❤️ Uncle & godson.
Every bottle. Every label. Every box.

Prepared by the people who grew the grapes, made the w**e, and stand behind every single bottle.

Built by our family. Brought to life together with our team.

Family business means working side by side with people who share our values.

Soon, the 2025 vintage will begin its journey from our cellar in Appenheim to w**e lovers and restaurant tables around the world.

Rheinblick 13. Appenheim.

Our home since 1968.

With remarkable foresight, our grandparents, Magda and Erwin Knewitz, built the w**ery here in 1968 – surrounded by the vineyards of the Welzbachtal, just outside the village. A decision that still shapes the way we work today.

This is where the grapes from our vineyards arrive. This is where our w**es are made. And this is where we accompany them with patience, time and care until they are ready to begin their journey around the world.

From Rheinblick 13, we overlook the vineyards of the Welzbachtal every single day. Almost all of our sites lie right on our doorstep, and every evening this place rewards us with a breathtaking sunset – a reminder of why we chose to dedicate our lives to making w**e here.

More than an address, Rheinblick 13 is our home. And the heart of our w**ery.

Kollektionsverkostung 2026

Ein neuer Jahrgang. Neue Geschichten. Und Freunde, die unsere Leidenschaft für Herkunft teilen.

Am Samstag, den 22. August präsentieren wir unsere Kollektion: Riesling 2025 sowie Chardonnay und Spätburgunder 2024 – vom Gutswein bis zu den Großen Gewächsen. Weine, die das Welzbachtal und den Westerberg in ihrer ganzen Vielfalt widerspiegeln.

Mit dabei sind in diesem Jahr Dr. Bürklin-Wolf und das Weingut Margarethenhof Forst – zwei Weingüter, die wir nicht nur fachlich, sondern auch freundschaftlich sehr schätzen. Im Gepäck: ihre Riesling-Kollektion 2025 aus den großen Lagen der Mittelhaardt. Gemeinsam mit unseren Rieslingen aus dem Welzbachtal entsteht eine Verkostung, die zwei außergewöhnliche Herkünfte miteinander verbindet.

Für die passende Kulinarik sorgt erneut das Team der Hundertguldenmühle – mit Gerichten, die unsere Weine begleiten, ohne ihnen die Bühne zu nehmen.

Ein Tag voller Wein, Kulinarik, Begegnungen und inspirierender Gespräche.

Just a few more days until we take a short summer break. Until then, it’s all about the final touches in the vineyards.

The last weeks before ripening often seem uneventful, yet they are among the most important of the entire growing season. This is the time to walk every parcel, make the final adjustments to crop levels and give each vineyard the best possible conditions for the weeks leading up to harvest. In the end, it’s these small decisions that make the difference.

The one thing we’re still hoping for is rain. Around 100 mm of rainfall in May and June have carried our vineyards well through the summer so far, but a drop in temperature and a few millimetres of rain would be more than welcome. The forecast for the end of next week looks promising—and there are few moments when w**egrowers are happier to see bad weather.

So far, the 2026 vintage is developing beautifully. Now it’s a matter of staying patient, paying attention, and letting nature take the lead.

The way we farm our vineyards is a true team effort. Behind every bottle are people who accompany the vines throughout the entire year – with experience, dedication and plenty of hands-on work.

Our vineyard team is currently finishing the last stages of shoot positioning and trellis work. By carefully arranging the canopy, we create better airflow and sunlight exposure, laying the foundation for healthy, evenly ripening grapes.

For the w**es, this means greater precision, purity and a clearer expression of origin in the glass.

Viticulture is built on countless small decisions throughout the growing season. Quality is not created in a single moment – it is the result of a shared commitment and attention to detail, day after day.

Every task matters. Every member of the team makes a difference.

Different backgrounds, different stories, one shared goal. We are thankful to have people from Romania, Poland, the United States and many other places working side by side to bring each vintage to life.

Summer. Sun. Estate Wines 2025. ☀️🍷
Sundays just taste better. Cheers!

Our 2025 estate w**es from the Welzbachtal: fresh, juicy and full of drinkability. Fine fruit aromas, vibrant acidity and an inviting generosity make you want to take the next sip.

These are the w**es for long summer days – effortless, precise and deeply rooted in their origin.

Have a nice and enjoyable Sunday. 🍇☀️
