VDP: What is so special about your winery?

Rainer Wachtstetter: In addition to the winery, my wife Anette and I also operate a small, traditional restaurant called the “Adler”, which is open a few weekends a year. You can enjoy all our wines here by the glass with regional, Swabian culinary specialties!

VDP:What is your winery philosophy?

Rainer Wachtstetter: Conscientious and sustainable treatment of nature and our soils. This is the only way to produce the best grapes for great wines.

VDP: Do you have a favourite grape variety?

Rainer Wachtstetter: Lemberger. This grape variety has always been close to my heart.

Rainer Wachtstetter: Of our VDP.GROSSES GEWÄCHS® SPITZENBERG Lemberger. 

VDP:Why did you become a vintner?

Rainer Wachtstetter: The versatility of wine has always fascinated me. To have everything in your hands from the work in the vineyard all the way to bottling is something special! What’s more, I love being outdoors in nature and in the vineyard.

VDP:What are your next goals?

Rainer Wachtstetter: To continuously develop the winery and the wine quality, because if you rest, you rust!

VDP:Why should people visit your winery?

Rainer Wachtstetter: Our winery is located in the middle of the Stromberg-Heuchelberg Nature Park – there are wonderful bicycling and hiking trails. Pure nature!

VDP:What do you do when you are not making wine?
