The Heinemann family has been growing wines in the Markgräflerland region since the 16th century. Grandfather Lothar Heinemann began marketing the wines in the region in the 1930s. Ernst Heinemann planted Chardonnay vines for the first time in 1966, which he had mistakenly received instead of Pinot Blanc vines from Chablis. His son Lothar took over the business in 2000, which he now runs with his son Niklas.

The winery is recognised as an outstanding winery by wine guides such as Eichelmann, Der Feinschmecker and Falstaff. Let us introduce you to a small selection.

2022 Pinot Gris QbA dry

Pinot Gris, also known as Ruländer, was discovered in Speyer in 1711. The wine has a variety of flavours such as pineapple, peach, melon and banana with an elegant acidity and creamy mouthfeel. It goes well with both white and red meat and with our rösti.

2020 Pinot Noir ‘Alte Rebe’ Reserve dry

The Pinot Noir Reserve has an expressive character due to its low yield of 50 litres per acre. It is a very straightforward wine with flavours of cherry, chocolate and cedar wood flavours. We recommend this wine with beef, game and rösti dishes.

This Pinot Gris is matured spontaneously in wooden barrels. It is aged there for 12 months on the fine lees. The yield per acre is 45 litres. The wine has aromas of walnut, sultanas, yeast, melon and minerality. It harmonises with fish and seafood.
