The "Weingut & Edelobstbrennerei Stefan Reinhardt" is located in the municipality of Niederkirchen (Mittelhaardt/German Wine Route area) in the German wine-growing region of Pfalz. The business has been run by Stefan Reinhardt and his son Lukas since 1987. The vineyards cover 17 hectares of vines in the single vineyard sites Herrgottsacker and Nonnenstück (Deidesheim), Bischofsgarten (Forst), Klostergarten, Osterbrunnen and Schlossberg (Niederkirchen), Linsenbusch, Nußbien and Reiterpfad (Ruppertsberg), as well as Luginsland (Wachenheim). They are planted with the white wine varieties Riesling (75%), Pinot Blanc, Müller-Thurgau, Kerner, Chardonnay and Cabernet Blanc, as well as the red wine varieties Pinot Noir, Blauer Portugieser, Dornfelder, St. Laur ent, Regent, Cabernet Dorsa and Cabernet Mitos. The vineyards are cultivated according to natural, environmentally friendly criteria. Pest control is carried out by means of pheromones; insecticides are not used. Yields are reduced by thinning out the grapes to increase quality.
There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
