The Wine Estate

The family-owned estate Heinz Josef Rockenbach has produced wine since generations and is located on a hill above Pünderich showcasing a beautiful view of the Mosel and the surrounding vineyards. In the mid-eighties the winemaker Heinz Josef Rockenbach has taken over the production from his father and successfully increased the quality of the estate’s wines year over year.

The estate cultivates about 3 hectares of vineyards in steep, partly extremely steep location. The weather-beaten slate soil domination in the vineyards is perfectly suitable for the cultivation of the Riesling grape. Here voluptuous and mineral Riesling vines are growing, that captivate by depth and power.

Through selective harvesting of the grapes, limited yields, tender care of the vines and environmentally friendly fertilization, he practices viticulture that is close to nature. The fermentation is temperature-controlled in relatively small steel and wood barrels to achieve elegant wines with distinct fruit notes.
