In 1844 Weingut Zähringer was established by Wilhelm and Josef Zähringer in the traditional maltese
town Heitersheim (Baden/Markgräflerland) on the fringes of the Black Forest. Since then the love for
viniculture has been passed on within the family and developed from generation to generation. These
days the winery is led in sixth generation by Fabian Zähringer. The vines grow under the great
conditions and the long sunshine hours of the Upper Rhine Valley (Oberrheintal) next to the French
and the Swiss border. They are planted on fertile loamy soil in the location Maltestergarten and on the
deep loess soil of the exclusive location Heitersheimer Sonnhohle.
Since 1987 the vineyards have been cultivated according to the principles of organic viniculture,
strictly controlled by the federal association ECOVIN. Since 2010 we have also been working in
accordance with the bio-dynamic guidelines, so our wines are now also Demeter-certified. Viticulture
according to ECOVIN and Demeter standards is a holistic cultivation system. We work in harmony
with nature – for the benefit of the vines, vineyards and individual and tasteful wines. Furthermore,
biological soil cultivation – intensive greening between vine lines, organic fertilization with compost,
etc. – is the foundation for the production of the highest grape quality and top-class wines. Valuable
wines with an individual and authentic character grow hand in hand with nature.
