The winery Zwölberich has been growing top quality, organic wines for over 20 years. The vineyard is famous for its selection of very high quality alcohol-free grape juices and alcohol-free seccos. Here you also find a wide variety of excellent wines for environmentally-conscious customers. The vineyard was named best International organic vineyard in 2014.
Zwölberich vines grow on some of the Nahe’s best vineyards: Langenlonsheimer Steinchen, Langenlonsheimer Koenigsschild, Langenlonsheimer Loehrer Berg, Guldentaler Honigberg and Guldentaler Rosenteich. The terroir is very diverse, including gravel terraces, loam soils, sand and red iron-rich soils. Each bottle of Zwölberich is unique and the numbers of bottles produced are very limited. For the premium wines, each wine is individually numbered.
Selective harvesting, very careful processing, and time allowed for natural maturing ensure aromatic wines. In the Zwölberich vineyard, twelve different types of grapes are planted: Riesling, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Noir and St. Laurent, amongst others.
Their speciality is alcohol-free, halal grape juices and Seccos. The grapes for these products receive the same careful treatment as for Zwölberich’s best wines. They are pure juices, freshly and painstakingly prepared from only one grape variety. With their rich bouquet and light tartness they are the ideal alcohol-free accompaniment to any meal.
