The secret Wengerter from Aalen: Passion for Lemberger and Co.

Hohenhaslach, Deutschland - The Aalen wine lover Alexander Spilner has fulfilled a dream with his own vineyard. He has been the proud owner of two plots in Hohenhaslach since 2021, where he in particular cultivates the Lemberger grape variety. Initially, the curiosity about wine led him to passion, which he discovered 15 years ago at a wine seminar on Lake Constance. The result of his hard work can now be seen: The first wine from its newly gained grape material of the 2022 vintage has recently been available and has already celebrated great success. Over 300 bottles have been filled, and his full -bodied Lemberger can be bought in Aalen from "drinks Weller" and "Küferstüble", such as Schwaebische.de reported.

The vine wizard and the challenge of viticulture

Spilner's introduction to the world of viticulture was anything but easy. For six years he searched for the suitable vineyard, moved from property to property and fought against the challenges of the market. In 2021 he finally found his luck and acquired this unique place that had been broke for several years. The restoration of its vineyards required intensive work, starting with removing weeds to hacking the floor. Thanks to the support of an experienced family of winegrowers, he can now lend a hand when it comes to the vineyard cut or the wine harvest. In 2023 Spilner will continue to offer his Lemberger and already has plans for other grape varieties, including Cabernet Sauvignon, which will soon be available in another edition.

In addition to Spilner's efforts, the Lemberger Rosé of the Häußermann winery from Württemberg is also mentioned. This fine, fruity rosé wine, which is known for its fragrance of strawberries and its pleasant residual sweetness, shows the variety of wine culture in the region and evidence of how the Lemberger has become more popular in new variations. The Lemberger Rosé 2023 is also currently for sale and is expanding the selection of the excellent wine from this traditional wine-growing region wirwinzer.de .
