Weingut Kerpen

Experience the Steep Slopes of Mosel

Weingut Kerpen, nestled along the banks of the Mosel River, has been a family-run winery for nine generations, proudly upholding a winemaking legacy that spans 250 years. The Mosel region is renowned as the world's largest producer of Riesling, where every effort is made to preserve its unique flavors. The next generation of winemakers is being trained to continue this cherished family tradition.

The Queen of White Grapes: Riesling

Spanning nearly 9 hectares, the vineyards at Weingut Kerpen exclusively cultivate Riesling grapes, thriving on the steep slopes of Graach, Bernkastel, and Wehlen. These ideal conditions yield grapes that achieve a remarkable balance of fruitiness and acidity, with low alcohol content and excellent aging potential. The winemaking process is meticulous, requiring time and dedication to ensure the highest quality.

Natural Winemaking Practices

The winery's underground cellar is designed to create optimal conditions for Riesling production, maintaining consistent low temperatures and high humidity. Grapes are handpicked with care and gently pressed. The musts are fermented in wooden barrels, resulting in a range of wines, from dry to sweet and dessert varieties. The focus is on natural winemaking, minimizing any interference during fermentation. Weingut Kerpen specializes in white, sparkling, and dessert wines.

The wines from Weingut Kerpen are featured in prestigious wine publications worldwide, including Wine Advocate, Eichelmann, Gault Millau, Wein Plus, and Weinwisser.
This speaks volumes about their quality and reputation.
