Ökologisches Weingut Hubert: A Legacy of Quality

Ökologisches Weingut Hubert is a family-owned winery located in Ihringen, Baden. Established in 1987 by Hubert and Gisela Lay, the winery has been passed down through four generations. Their son, Christian, who studied Viticulture and Oenology, now plays a vital role in the winery alongside his wife, Corrina, a former Baden Wine Princess. Since 1990, the winery has embraced ecological practices, ensuring both environmental sustainability and exceptional wine quality.

Since 1990, Ökologisches Weingut Hubert has focused on ecological winemaking to produce outstanding natural wines.

Natural Wine Production and Vineyard Location

Since 2008, the winery has exclusively produced natural wines, avoiding sulfites, fining, and filtering. This approach results in wines with a distinctive cloudy appearance and unique flavors. The vineyards are situated on the Fohrenberg and Winklerberg hills in Ihringen, at the southern tip of Kaiserstuhl. The region's warm tephrit and loess soils provide an ideal environment for vine cultivation.

Main Grape Varieties and Winemaking Techniques

Ökologisches Weingut Hubert cultivates a variety of grapes, including Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay, Riesling, Silvaner, Muskateller, and Cabernet. The winery prioritizes quality by maintaining low harvest yields and handpicking the finest grapes. No sugar is added to enhance alcohol content, and the wines undergo mash fermentation, contributing to their rich color and robust character. Aging occurs in wooden barrels, and the wine is carefully filtered before bottling.

Simply mega. Very very good wines. And all of this organic and vegan. A great winemaking family with ❤️. And you can also feel the love for it in the wines. Your natural wines are absolutely amazing. I've been shopping there for years and have never been disappointed. Keep it up dear Corinna and Christian. I'm already looking forward to my next purchase.

Convincing wines from organic farming. I was particularly impressed by the Pinot Noir red wines with their strong, fruity taste. The wine still tastes like real grapes. My favorite so far is the 2011 Pinot Noir SL. It is also interesting that the Lay family manages to make some wines sulphur-free.

How should I best start? Honestly - everything really fits here. We have been customers of this winery for several years and were able to take part in a wine hike today. We had the honor of getting to know the 2011/2012 Baden wine princess and her husband in private. 😘 The wines presented are simply delicious and of incredibly good quality. The family, the region and the products are top notch. I can absolutely recommend the wines from here and will happily continue shopping here. Thank you very much for the lovely evening.

Organic wines directly from the winemaker, what more could you want? We have been regular customers for years because Hubert Lay, and now his son, grows the wines as organic wines. The weather on the Kaiserstuhl and the special processing ensure that the wines contain less natural acidity than other wines. This makes them extremely well tolerated. People who deal with reflux will especially appreciate this. With the Lay family you get comprehensive advice including wine tasting, so you never have to buy a pig in a poke. A special recommendation for us.

Thank you so much for organizing the trip to Ökologisches Weingut Hubert Lay. Me and my friend would like to give 10 out of 10 to the tour and wine tasting at Ökologisches Weingut Hubert Lay. The host were amazing, we spend around 3 hours, roam around wine yards, got to know so much information about red and white wines. Later we saw their manufacturing, and that was really great experience. We have tasted around 12 wines, the host were really patient and nice to explain the details about different wines. And finally we bought several wines from there. Experience with Winetourism.com is really great, it is easy to book the tour at the wineries with Winetourism.com. Response from the mail (that is performed by you) was really quickly for all my queries and arranged a good tour at such a short notice. I am really grateful to you and the whole team, and tagged winetourism.com on my Instagram. Shared my experience with friends as well. Thank you so much.

Very nice tasting. Despite our young age, we were taken seriously. The wines were very tasty and the young family that took over the winery from his parents was friendly and open-minded. Gladly again!
