Behind the "Fendt wine family" is the former sommelier Jürgen Fendt. In addition to full-time viticulture, he is also active in wine consulting. He owns and leases 4.5 hectares of vineyards in two growing areas. The vineyard in the Mosel growing area in the single vineyard Bruderschaft (Klüsserath) was leased to a friend of the family. In the Baden growing region (Ortenau area), Riesling and Pinot Noir are cultivated in the individual vineyards Engelsfelsen (Bühlertal), Sternenberg (Altschweier), Mauerberg (Neuweier) and Stich den Buben (Steinbach).The near-natural cultivation is carried out according to the premise "in harmony with nature" by hand with individual care of each vine. Various grasses, wild herbs, flowers, foxgloves and mullein provide natural habitats for insects, caterpillars, lizards and birds.
The glossary is a monumental achievement and one of the most important contributions to wine knowledge. Of all the encyclopaedias I use on the subject of wine, it is by far the most important. That was the case ten years ago and it hasn't changed since.
