Biolandhof Rinklin Winery: A Legacy of Winemaking

Biolandhof Rinklin is nestled in the eastern corner of the Kaiserstuhl, a region renowned for its warm climate and volcanic soil, ideal for grape cultivation. This area has a rich history of winemaking, dating back 2000 years to the Roman era. Since 1955, the Rinklin family has embraced organic farming practices, and in 1971, the founder established the BIOLAND certification. Initially focused on vegetables, the winery shifted its attention to viticulture in the early 1990s. Today, Friedhelm Rinklin, along with his wife Anne and their children Matheo, Laura, and Johann, manages the estate, which also offers modern accommodations for guests.

Quality Grapes for Exceptional Wines

The Rinklin vineyards are situated in prime locations, benefiting from calcareous soils and warm temperatures that nurture high-quality grapes. The family avoids synthetic fertilizers, allowing the vines to thrive naturally. Key grape varieties include Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Muskateller, Müller-Thurgau, Johanniter, and Regent. Handpicked grapes are transformed into exquisite red, white, rosé, and sparkling wines using minimal intervention techniques. Natural yeasts are employed during fermentation, ensuring that each wine reflects the unique terroir and the family's dedication to organic practices.
