The Gres winery looks back on a good 300 years of winemaking tradition. The family came in the wake of the Huguenot banishment in 1684 from the Rhône Valley, where they had already done viticulture, to Rheinhessen. There, they planted 70,000 vines on 15 hectares in and around the municipality of Appenheim. The vineyards are located in five municipalities, so that for each grape variety an ideal location is available. The vines thrive particularly well on humus-rich limestone soils. In addition to national (Riesling,...
Our winery and the wines are the base of our success. A wine has many faces. It is pleasure, life and sociability, but also quiet companion. For us, tradition means commitment, and that in the 5th generation already. Quality is always a challenge for us. For us, the love of wine, the experience of nature and an exceptionally high quality standard are the most important. Preserving the natural character of the wines is our philosophy. A staggered, partially selective harvest and a subsequent gentle processing guarantee a high...
