Christian Hirsch Weine

Wine is more than a profession to me. It is passion, conviction, and a constant adventure. Every vintage challenges us anew, every bottle tells its own story. That is precisely what fascinates me - that is what drives me. My time in California's Napa Valley has had a lasting impact on my view of viticulture. There I learned to think openly, to question existing practices, and to have the courage to go my own way. Back in Leingarten, it was clear to me: The most exciting wines are not created by copying great role models, but where international impulses meet powerful Keuper soils, the sun at the Heuchelberg, and genuine Swabian craftsmanship. Our calcareous Keuper soils, the long aging in barriques made from Swabian oak, and the passion for cuvées form the foundation of my work. For me, a cuvée is much more than the sum of its grape varieties. It is the art of creating something from different grape varieties that is greater than its individual parts. It stands for balance, tension, and depth – and gives me the freedom to compose wines with an unmistakable signature. This is how wines are created that do not have to be loud, but linger long in the memory.

HIRSCH IS WILD

Wild means to me remaining curious, boldly questioning things, and uncompromisingly focusing on quality. It means consistently following one's own path – with precision and a clear attitude. No arbitrariness, no mainstream, but wines with a profile and a distinct signature. Wines that stay in your memory.
