The "Weingut Hofmann" is located in the municipality of Appenheim ( Bingen area) in the German wine-growing region of Rheinhessen. The winery has been run by Carolin and Jürgen Hofmann since 2006. Both graduated in oenology in Geisenheim, and gained practical experience in California, South Africa, Australia, Hungary and Romania. Jürgen Hofmann also previously worked as a winemaker at the Reh Kendermann winery. The vineyards cover 13.5 hectares of vineyards in the single vineyard sites Eselspfad and Hundertgulden (Appenheim), as well as Ölberg (Nierstein). They are planted with the white wine varieties Riesling, Silvaner, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Bl anc and Huxelrebe, as well as with the red wine varieties Pinot Noir and Dornfelder. Natural, environmentally friendly viticulture is consistently practised.
For my many years of work as an editor with a wine and culinary focus, I always like to inform myself about special questions at Wine lexicon. Spontaneous reading and following links often leads to exciting discoveries in the wide world of wine.
