Christian Hirsch Weine

For me, wine is more than a profession. 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 - and what drives me. My time in California's Napa Valley left a lasting impression on my view of winemaking. There I learned to think openly, to question the status quo, and to have the courage to forge my own path. 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 barrels made of 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 results in wines that do not need to be loud, but linger long.

HIRSCH IS WILD

Wild means to me staying curious, boldly questioning things, and committing unconditionally to quality. It means consistently going one's own way – with precision and a clear stance. No arbitrary choices, no mainstream, but wines with a profile and a clear signature. Wines that stay in your memory.
