Giegerich

Producer description of "Weingut Giegerich"

The winery is located in the municipality of Großwallstadt (Churfranken area) in the German wine-growing region of Franconia. In 1992, the family business with 2.5 hectares of vineyards at the time was taken over by Klaus Giegerich and converted into a pure winegrowing operation. After training as a viticultural technician, son Kilian joined the business in 2012, followed by his brother Philipp in 2020. The family business has been run jointly by the two sons since January 2021, with father Klaus continuing to provide advice and support. The vineyards cover 15 hectares of vineyards in the single vineyard sites Lützeltalerberg and the Gewann Pitztaler Berg (Großwallstadt), Schalk (Rück), Campestres (Wörth am Main), and Schlossberg (Klingenberg am Main). Burgundy varieties play a special role, above all the red wine varieties Frühburgunder and Spätburgunder, followed by the white wine varieties Weißburgunder (Pinot Blanc) and Chardonnay with a total of 40% area share. Others are Müller-Thurgau and Silvaner, as well as Sauvignon Blanc, Muskateller and Riesling. Since August 2020, the winery has been in the certification process for organic-ecological viticulture.
