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 has had a lasting impact on my view of viticulture. There I learned to think openly, to question the status quo, 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 maturation in barriques 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 is how wines are created that do not need to be loud, but linger long.

HIRSCH IS WILD

Wild for me means staying curious, courageously questioning things, and committing uncompromisedly to quality. It means consistently walking your own path – with precision and a clear attitude. No arbitrariness, no mainstream, but wines with profile and a clear signature. Wines that stay in your memory.
