A Family-Owned Winery Committed to Organic Practices
Eppelmann: A Family Tradition Since 1954
Located in the picturesque Selz Valley, Eppelmann Winery has been a family-run establishment since 1954. The winery bottled its first wine in the 1970s and has since dedicated itself to the art of winemaking. Timo and Simone, the passionate owners, are committed to enhancing the quality of their wines through sustainable practices. Currently, Eppelmann is transitioning to organic farming, with the goal of becoming fully certified by 2024. This commitment not only protects the local environment but also aims to elevate the quality of their wines, with the 2021 vintage set to be their first certified organic offering.
Natural Flavors and Minimal Intervention
The unique terroir of the Selztal region, characterized by limestone and marl soils, plays a crucial role in vine cultivation. Eppelmann Winery prioritizes biodiversity and soil health to ensure their grapes thrive. With low rainfall and mild temperatures, the conditions are ideal for grape growing. The winemaking process is meticulous; grapes are handpicked and transported using gravity to minimize handling. Fermentation occurs spontaneously in barrique barrels, with no added sulfites or chemicals, allowing the true essence of the grapes to shine through. The result is a harmonious balance where the influence of wood complements rather than overpowers the wine.
Diverse Grape Varieties
Eppelmann Winery cultivates a range of both native and international grape varieties, including Riesling, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Silvaner, Saint Laurent, Pinot Gris, and Merlot. This diverse selection enables the production of exceptional red, white, and sparkling wines, each reflecting the unique characteristics of the Rheinhessen region.
