The winegrowers' cooperative "Weingärtner Cleebronn-Güglingen eG" is located in the municipality of Cleebronn (Württemberger Unterland area) in the German wine-growing region of Württemberg. It was founded in 1951 as a merger of the municipalities of Cleebronn, Eibensbach, Frauenzimmern and Güglingen. Axel Gerst is the managing director, Andreas Reichert is the cellar master. Around 500 winegrowers cultivate 250 hectares of vines in the single vineyards Michaelsberg (Cleebronn) and Kaiserberg (Güglingen). The red wine varieties Lemberger (Blaufränkisch), Schwarzriesling, Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir), Trollinger (Schiava Grossa), Acolon, Samtrot and Muskat-Trollinger (Muscat d'Hamburg), as well as the white wine varieties Riesling, Weißburgunder (Pinot Blanc), Grauburgunder (Pinot Gris), Müller-Thurgau, Traminer, Silvaner and Kerner are cultivated. Selective harvesting is carried out with corresponding yield reduction with the aim of ripe and healthy grapes.
The Wine lexicon helps me to keep up to date and refresh my knowledge. Thank you for this Lexicon that will never end in terms of topicality! That's what makes it so exciting to come back often.
